A Home - The Chicks

I mistook the warnings for wisdom

from so-called friends quick to advise

though your touch was telling me otherwise

Somehow I saw you as a weakness

I thought I had to be strong

Oh but I was just young I was scared

I was wrong

Not a night goes by

I don’t dream of wandering through the home that might have been

I listened to my pride when my heart cried out for you

Now everyday I wake again

In a house that might’ve been

A home

Guess I did

What I did believing

that love is a dangerous thing

Oh but that couldn’t hurt anymore

than never knowing

Not a night goes by

I don’t dream of wandering

through the home that might have been

I listened to my pride

when my heart cried out for you

Now everyday I wake again

In a house that might’ve been

A home

A home…

four walls, a roof, a door, some windows

just a place to run when my workin day is through

they say home is where the heart is

if the exception proves the rule I guess that’s true

Not a night goes by

I don’t dream of wandering

through the home that might have been

I listened to my pride

When my heart cried out for you

now everyday I wake again

In a house that might’ve been

A home a home
