House Of Pain

It's a little past supper time
 I'm still out on the porch steps
 Sittin' on my behind, waiting for you
 Wonder if everything is all right
 Momma said, "Come in boy, don't waste your time"
 I said, "I got time, he'll be home soon"
 I was five years old and talkin' to myself
 Where were you? Where'd you go?
 Daddy can't you tell?
 I'm not tryin' to fake it
 And I ain't the one to blame
 No there's no one home
 In my house of pain
 And I didn't write these pages and
 My scripts been rearranged
 No there's no one home
 In my house of pain
 No there's no one home
 In my house of pain
 Wasn't I worth the time?
 A boy needs a daddy like a dance to mime
 And all the time, I looked up to you
 I paced my room a million times
 And all I ever got was one big lie
 The same old lie
 How could you?
 I was eighteen, still talking to myself
 Oh, where were you? Where'd you go?
 Daddy can't you tell?
 I'm not tryin' to fake it
 And I ain't the one to blame
 No there's no one home
 In my house of pain
 I didn't write these pages
 And my script's been rearranged
 No there's no one home
 In my house of pain
 No there's no one home
 In my house of pain

 And I ain't the one to blame
 No there's no one home
 In my house of pain
 So I didn't write these pages
 And my script's been rearranged
 No there's no one home
