Lying awake, did it again for Christ sake

Should've told her to go, and I know it

But she tasted like home



Yeah, she tasted like home

I did what I did, can't say hey man, I'm just a kid

Saw the lie in my eyes, couldn't hide it

Cause she tasted like home

Yeah, she tasted like home



Oh, home ain't what I call it

But I'm the only ghost walkin' through the hallways

The pain gets so much clearer

When the one to blame is standing in the mirror

This fool, this liar

Lit a match and set his life on fire

I guess I'd rather be alone

In a house that's not a home



The pain in my heart's 'cause we're a thousand miles apart

I've got no one to blame for the shame

'Cause she's waiting back home

I hope she's waiting back home

Stupid to think that I could blame it on the drink

Now I'm trying to stall making calls

To someone back home

I hope there's someone back home



Oh, home ain't what I call it

But I'm the only ghost walkin' through the hallways

The pain gets so much clearer

When the one to blame is standing in the mirror

This fool, this liar

Lit a match and set his life on fire

I guess I'd rather be alone

In a house that's not a home



I walk through the door and there's no light on anymore

Must have known all along I was wrong

Cause there's no one at home

No one's waiting back home



Oh, home ain't what I call it

But I'm the only ghost walkin' through the hallways

The pain gets so much clearer

When the one to blame is standing in the mirror

This fool, this liar

Lit a match and set his life on fire

I guess I'd rather be alone

In a house that's not a home
