Home Sweet Home
B.J. Dowdy Lyrics

The lights on your car
The headlights of your car burn through the darkness.

Burn a hole in the dark
They illuminate the road like a torch, creating a path in the darkness.

You stare at the road
You focus on driving, paying no attention to me.

While I'm falling apart
I'm struggling internally, feeling neglected and alone.

The band on the tape
The music we're listening to is coming from a cassette tape.

Plays our favourite song
The song that's playing is one that we both love and have listened to many times before.

I search for your smile
I'm hoping to see a glimpse of happiness or affection from you.

But you're already gone
You're not present, both physically and emotionally.

But it felt like home
Despite the situation, being together still feels familiar and comforting.

You walked through the door
You've just come inside from being out.

With a story to tell
You have a tale or anecdote to share with me.

Your eyes tried to hide
You're not being honest with me, trying to cover up your real emotions and thoughts.

But I know you too well
I can read through your facade, understanding what's really going on.

It slowly sinks in
I'm gradually realizing the truth of the situation.

That the love has been blind
Our relationship was built on false or superficial feelings, and we weren't as compatible as we thought.

My mind understands
I intellectually comprehend what's happening and why.

But my heart lags behind
Emotionally, I'm still struggling to accept the situation and move on.

Cause it felt like home
Despite everything, the time we spent together and the memories we made still feel comfortable and familiar to me.

The bitter words
Harsh language and negative emotions were expressed during our conversation or argument.

The broken glass
Something was smashed or broken, possibly as a result of our altercation.

I can't believe you made me ask
I'm shocked and disappointed that I had to ask you for the truth, rather than you being honest with me from the outset.

The sudden change
Something unexpected occurred, causing a shift or disruption in our relationship.

Alone again
I'm left to deal with my emotions by myself.

I guess I should know better
In hindsight, I realize that I should have seen the signs and known that our relationship wasn't as strong as I thought.

I know I shouldn't try
I understand that I need to move on and let go of our relationship, even if it's difficult.

But tonight I need to hear
Despite my best intentions, I'm still struggling to cope and need some reassurance.

That the truth is a lie
Part of me still wants to believe the false reality that we had constructed, even if it's not true.

And you've blackened the sun
You've created an oppressive or negative environment, making it difficult to see the positive aspects of life or our relationship.

No it's all said and done
The situation is over and we can't change what's already happened.

And there is no regret
I'm feeling a sense of finality and closure, even if the ending is not what I wanted.

And it's all in my head
The memories and feelings I have about our relationship are internal and subjective, and I can't change them.

And it feels wrong
The ending of our relationship doesn't feel right or natural.

And it feels like home
Despite the pain and discomfort of the situation, our relationship still feels comforting and familiar to me on an emotional level.
