| 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 ceiling’s 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 neighbors now they moved away to Mexico
|
| Reality comes once I finally hear
|
| «Son I’ve been waiting for this moment for 13 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, oh the golden days
|
| 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 (Was a home, was a home once)
|
| This was a home once (Was a home, was a home once)
|
| This was a home once
|
| This was a home once |
