Lyrics

I know you're gonna break it

I anticipate that you will break something

You're gonna break it clean

You will break it cleanly, without hesitation

This frame never could take

The existing structure cannot withstand a harsh and unkind season

A season so cruel and mean

Referring to a difficult and harsh period

I can't be who I want to be

I am unable to express my true self

These walls aren't mine

The walls surrounding me do not belong to me


Nobody else can make me right

No one else has the ability to make me feel complete

Nobody else can feel this wrong

No one else can understand the depth of my despair

And in one moment I am light

In one moment, I feel illuminated and hopeful

Another dead as night

Another moment is as dark and lifeless as night

I should have known I'd never own

I should have realized that I would never possess

This borrowed home

This place I'm currently residing in (metaphor for life)


Too deep into the passage

Too immersed in a love that has grown uncontrollable

Of love so overgrown

Describing a love that has become overwhelming

And now forever I'm cast

Now, I am forever burdened, like a sinking stone

As heavy as sinking stone

Feeling weighed down by the consequences of love

I can't rise when I want to rise

I am unable to rise when I desire to

In this bed I sleep with ghosts

In this bed, I am haunted by memories


Nobody else can make me right

No one else has the power to make me feel whole

Nobody else can feel this wrong

No one else can comprehend the intensity of my pain

And in one moment I am light

In a fleeting moment, I experience joy and brightness

Another dead as night

Another moment is as lifeless and dark as night

I should have known I'd never own

I should have realized that I would never possess

This borrowed home

This place I'm currently residing in (metaphor for life)


The windows open and the truth closes in

The truth is revealed as the windows open

What a sweet beginning to the bitter end

What seemed like a pleasant beginning turns out to be a bitter end


I can't live where I want to live

I am unable to live where I wish to live

If I can't find my way home

If I cannot find my way back to my true home


Nobody else can make me right

No one else has the power to make me feel whole

Nobody else can feel this wrong

No one else can comprehend the intensity of my pain

And in one moment I am light

In a fleeting moment, I experience joy and brightness

Another dead as night

Another moment is as lifeless and dark as night

I should have known I'd never own

I should have realized that I would never possess

This borrowed home

This place I'm currently residing in (metaphor for life)


I'm home

I have come back home

Borrowed home

This home is borrowed, not truly mine

Yeah, I'm home

Yes, I am home, but it's a borrowed home
