It's a little past supper time
  I'm still out on the front porch
  Sittin on my behind, waiting for you
  Wondering if everything was all right
  Momma said come in boy don't waste your time
  I said I got time he'll be here soon
  I was five years old and talkin to myself
  Where were you? Where'd ya 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
  Wasn't I worth the time
  A boy needs a daddy like 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 line
  The same old lie
  How could you?

  I was eighteen and still talking to myself
  Where were you? Where's you go?
  Daddy can't ya 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'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
  If I learned anything from this
  It's how to live on my own!
