(Verse 1)

I thought you were my place to return,

Where this heart could finally feel at ease.

But every step closer to you,

All I found was silence, cold and blue.

(Pre-Chorus)

I tried to stay within your shadow,

But warmth was something you never showed.

(Chorus)

You are not home, just a resting place,

Not where my heart finds its embrace.

I longed for peace, but all I found,

Were scars that endlessly surround.

(Verse 2)

The walls you built are far too high,

You never let me in, no matter how I tried.

I was just a guest in your life’s view,

Never someone who truly mattered to you.

(Pre-Chorus)

I sought shelter, but you stayed cold,

This heart of mine crumbled, slowly sold.

(Chorus)

You are not home, just a resting place,

Not where my heart finds its embrace.

I longed for peace, but all I found,

Were scars that endlessly surround.

(Bridge)

Now I realize, it’s time to leave,

To find a place where I’m truly received.

Not here, not with you,

Because a home is more than walls, it’s true.

(Chorus)

You are not home, just a resting place,

Not where my heart finds its embrace.

I longed for peace, but all I found,

Were scars that endlessly surround.

(Outro)

You are not home, and that’s okay,

Now I know I must walk away.

Leaving your shadow far behind,

Toward a home where I’ll truly shine.
