This Was a Home Once

[Verse 1] My bedroom looks the same But that is not how it feels I guess the dog is now dead My little sister, in heels She drives her own car now Wears a ring in her nose Mom and dad play pretend But it's over and we know [Chorus] This was a home once Now the ceiling's falling, I feel the rain This was a home once With so much love comes so much pain [Verse 2] My mother's face is like stone My father comes and he goes And our neighbors now they moved away to Mexico Reality comes once I finally hear "Son I've been waiting for this moment for 13 years" [Chorus] This was a home once Can I say something to change your mind? This was a home once All these years go by and I've been blind [Bridge] And as one chapter ends another chapter begins Now my life revolves around cliches I hated as a kid My sister's still young, I hate to see her face blue Though we can't control the rest one thing will always be true [Chorus] This was a home once Where we found our way, oh the golden days This was a home once Where my life begun, where life moves on This was a home once This was a home once This was a home once (Was a home, was a home once) This was a home once (Was a home, was a home once) This was a home once This was a home once
