Nobody's home
She can't talk for hours words don't cover her scars
She thinks she's crazy they just pushed her too far
She runs to the mirror only saviour she's known
Another slap on her face ?cause nobody's home
Her mother's always working slinging bee on the side
Daddy's watching TV and he's still getting high
She knows he'll be waiting tryin? to get her alone
She hangs out on the corner hopin? nobody's home
Prayin? nobody's home
All she ever wanted was a place on this earth
She shouts for a saviour or anyone who'll hear her
All she ever needed was hope in a world
In a world where she feels all alone
Nobody's home
A cry for attention hanging on by a thread
She can't stop this screaming going on in her head
Tears on the pillow these are things she won't miss
Nothing to believe in so it comes down to this
Blood on the mirror temptation Is bliss
Pills on the table she just couldn't resist
Now nobody's home
