The Home Was Built
The Home was Built – Yours & Mine
I built a home – for you, for me
It disappeared – from me, from you
Now you say it’s time to let it turn to dust
I built a home.
I lost a home.
I built a home again.
I built a home that could include me and all my friends
It disappeared.
I destroyed it.
I destroyed it with my hands.
My blood soaks its foundation.
Your tears swell the walls.
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
To build my home again
I shook, I shook, I cried, I cried
This, I can’t seem to mend.
With glass in my throat
I beg, I beg, that you let me come home
I thought I had the strength,
I don’t,
I can’t build my own anymore
My hands are bleeding, my heart is beating,
it only pounds your name
I should’ve said it a thousand times,
I’m sorry
My home has always been the place
Where you and I could stand face to face
I built a home.
I lost a home.
I can’t build my home again.
