Life's a chase seems a waste
As she breathes in the smoke
Another pill, another drink
She's been waiting through
All the fire and ashes
That lead to an endless road
Another night, it's a fight
As she sits by the phone
Take breath need a rest
She's been waiting for him
To say it's the day
She doesn't have to be alone
Anymore
To survive another day
She needs the heart she gave away
She's been waiting
In a house that ain't no home
She's aching for something to take
When the bottle is gone
She keeps waiting
Knowing something's wrong
And she's tired of trying to keep her from dying alone
In a house that ain't no home
Shed a tear now it's clear
It's the end of the rope
Need some time to rewind
She's been patient through
All the lies in her mind
She dies little more inside every night
It's a pace, not a race
She thinks she's getting old
It's the guilt that will kill
She's been patient though
It's been slow and she knows
It's like she's bathing in self loathe
To survive another day
She needs the heart she gave away
She's been waiting
In a house that ain't no home
She's aching for something to take
When the bottle is gone
She keeps waiting
Knowing something's wrong
And she's tired of trying to keep her from dying alone
In a house that ain't no home
She's been waiting
In a house that ain't no home
She's aching for something to take
When the bottle is gone
She's been waiting
Knowing something's wrong
And she's tired of trying to keep her from dying alone
In a house that ain't no home
Ain't no home
