Lyrics

VERSE 1
She was born into a house of sighing
She was born into the lie
That happiness could be got with much trying
Never ask the why
Ain't nobody home, ain't nobody home, ain't nobody home here
VERSE 2
Things can touch but they don't have to reach you
She learned to fly away inside
Knew the rules and always kept it quiet
Spent the days surviving life
CHORUS
In the house on the hill life was always standing still
She sat and she sang all alone
She knew down was up
What she knew was not enough
She lived inside a world all her own
Ain't nobody home, ain't nobody home, aint' nobody home here
VERSE 3
She still lives inside that house so quiet
Walks with dreams inside her mind
Keeping company with ghosts and strangers
Every day to pass the time
