Lying awake, did it again for Christ sake Shoulda told her to go, and I know it But she tasted like home Yeah, she tasted like home I did what I did, can't stay in and I'm just a kid Saw the lie in my eyes, couldn't hide it 'Cause you tasted like home Yeah, she tasted like home Oh well, home ain't what I'm callin' But I'm the only ghost walkin' through the hallways The pain gets so much clearer When the one to blame is standing in the mirror This fool, this life Lit a match and set his life on fire I guess I'd rather be alone In a house that's not a home The pain in my heart 'cause we're a thousand miles apart I've got no one to blame for the shame 'Cause she's waiting back home I hope she's waiting back home Stupid to think that I could blame it on the drink Now I'm trying to stall, making calls to someone back home I hope there's someone back home Oh well, home ain't what I'm callin' But I'm the only ghost walkin' through the hallways The pain gets so much clearer When the one to blame is standing in the mirror This fool, this life Lit a match and set his life on fire I guess I'd rather be alone, in a house that's not a home I walk through the door and there's no light on anymore Must have known all along that I was wrong 'Cause there's no one at home No one's waiting back home Well, home ain't what I'm callin' But I'm the only ghost walkin' through the hallways The pain gets so much clearer When the one to blame is standing in the mirror This fool, this life Lit a match and set his life on fire I guess I'd rather be alone In a house that's not a home
