Home Is Where I Don't Belong
Kerbera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I built this house up from the ground
Why am I looking in?
Home is where I don′t belong
Lock... lock and load your lucky shot
What you got, aint enough to pierce my heart
We had our moments but you've thrown this away
I know where I stand in the end
The end
Say my name, my name, my name
Say my name, my name, my name
Say my name, my name, my name
To my face, my face, my face
Why am I looking in?
I built this house up from the ground
Why am I looking in?
Home is where I don′t belong
Why am I looking in?
I built this house up from the ground
Why am I looking in?
Home is where I don't belong
This is my house
So get out
This is my house
My... my oh my your fans are fine
Dont deny, that you always wanted mine
Now that you've got em
You can swim in that crowd
But I really hope that you drown
You drown
Say my name, my name, my name
Say my name, my name, my name
Say my name, my name, my name
To my face, my face, my face
Why am I looking in?
I built this house up from the ground
Why am I looking in?
Home is where I don′t belong
Why am I looking in?
I built this house up from the ground
Why am I looking in?
Home is where I don′t belong
Do you even notice I'm not here?
I invited you, now I′m out here
Why am I looking in?
I built this house up from the ground
Why am I looking in?
Home is where I don't belong
Why am I looking in?
I built this house up from the ground
Why am I looking in?
Home is where I don′t belong
Do you even notice I'm not here?
This is my house
I invited you, now I′m out here
