Yours Truly - Homebound

Sat inside an empty house

All the lights off, the coffees long gone cold

Can someone come and take me away?

‘cause I can’t seem to get a hold of myself

Collecting dust like books up on my shelf

Can someone come and take me away?

So here I am feeling sorry for myself

Writing to make sense of everything I felt

And dealing with the hand I’m dealt

I’ve always thought there’s more to me than meets the eye

So why do I pretend to like a life that I despise?

Everybody said ‘do what makes you happy'

But I’ve lost sight of what that is and what I could’ve been

I put my life on hold for nothing

Broke the rules in search of anything

Everybody said 'do what makes you happy'

Maybe I’ve been away for far too long

Forgotten what it’s like to live and belong
