Nobody
Avril Lavigne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I couldn't tell you
Why she felt that way
She felt it everyday
And I couldn't help her
I just watched her make
The same mistakes again

What's wrong, what's wrong now
Too many, too many problems
Don't know where she belongs
Where she belongs

She wants to go home
But nobody's home
That's where she lies
Broken inside
With no place to go
No place to go
To dry her eyes
Broken inside

Open your eyes
And look outside
Find the reasons why
You've been rejected
And now you can't find
What you left behind

Be strong, be strong now
Too many, too many problems
Don't know where she belongs
Where she belongs

She wants to go home
But nobody's home
That's where she lies
Broken inside
With no place to go
No place to go
To dry her eyes
Broken inside

Her feelings she hides
Her dreams she can't find
She's losing her mind
She's falling behind

She can't find her place
She's losing her faith
She's falling from grace
She's all over the place, yeah

She wants to go home
But nobody's home
That's where she lies
Broken inside
With no place to go
No place to go to
To dry her eyes
Broken inside





She's lost inside, lost inside
She's lost inside, lost inside

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Avril Lavigne's song "Nobody's Home" convey the struggle of a person who is lost and broken, unable to find solace and refuge anywhere. The singer admits that she couldn't fathom why the person felt the way they did, but she sees them make the same mistakes repeatedly. The chorus is a poignant reminder that despite wanting to find a way back home, nobody's home, and she's left without any place to go, with brokenness wounding her inside. The verses call for her to be strong, look for reasons outside and find what she left behind. The song is about being lost, hopeless, and feeling defeated, not seen, heard, or understood, and how that can make someone feel broken on the inside.

《LYRICS》

Well, I couldn't tell you
Why she felt that way
She felt it every day
And I couldn't help her
I just watched her make
The same mistakes again

What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems
Don't know where she belongs
Where she belongs

She wants to go home
But nobody's home
It's where she lies
Broken inside
With no place to go
No place to go to dry her eyes
Broken inside

Open your eyes
And look outside
Find the reasons why
You've been rejected
And now you can't find
What you've left behind

Be strong, be strong now
Too many, too many problems
Don't know where she belongs
Where she belongs

She wants to go home
But nobody's home
It's where she lies
Broken inside
With no place to go
No place to go to dry her eyes
Broken inside

Her feelings she hides
Her dreams she can't find
She's losing her mind
She's fallen behind

She can't find her place
She's losing her faith
She's fallen from grace
She's all over the place

She wants to go home
But nobody's home
It's where she lies
Broken inside
With no place to go
No place to go to dry her eyes
Broken inside

She's lost inside, lost inside, oh oh oh
She's lost inside, lost inside, oh oh oh

I'm almost 36 now, started listening to Avril when I was 15. She helped me get through the battles of puberty.
