This Was Home Once

My bedroom looks the same

But that is not how it feels

I guess the dog is now dead

My little sister, in heels

She drives her own car

Now wears a ring in her nose

Mom and dad play pretend

But it's over and we know

This was a home once

Now the ceilings falling, I feel the rain

This was a home once

With so much love comes so much pain

My mother's face is like stone

My father comes and he goes

And our neighbours now they moved away to mexico

And reality comes once I'm finally here

Son, I've been waiting for this moment for thirteen years

This was a home once

Can I say something to change your mind?

This was a home once

All these years go by and I've been blind

And as one chapter ends another chapter begins

Now my life revolves around cliches I hated as a kid

My sister's still young, I hate to see her face blue

Though we can't control the rest one thing will always be true

This was a home once

Where we found our way to the golden age

This was a home once

Where my life begun, where life moves on

This was a home once

This was a home once

This was a home once

This was a home once

This was a home once

This was a home once
