home

I got used to doors that didn’t stay Used to people leavin’ anyway Packed my world in a heart that breaks Every time I thought I’d found my place I don’t trust what I can’t hold tight Seen too many things just disappear overnight So I learnt how to carry what I couldn’t keep— Buried it somewhere they can’t reach [Pre-Chorus] I was lookin’ for a place to land Didn’t know it was in my hands [Chorus – SIMPLE, STICKY, EMOTIONAL] I tattooed home on myself So I’d never be homeless again No matter where I end up I know where I’ve been I tattooed home on my skin So I’d never feel lost like that Now wherever I go— I don’t gotta go back [Verse 2] I seen kids with nowhere to run Hearts too heavy for being that young I tried to hold ‘em like I needed once— But you can’t fix what was never done So I built a place inside my chest Where the broken parts can finally rest And I talk to that kid I used to be— Sayin’ “you’re safe now… you’re safe with me” [Pre-Chorus] Yeah I stopped waitin’ for someone else And I started showin’ up for myself [Chorus – BIGGER] I tattooed home on myself So I’d never be homeless again No matter who leaves I don’t break like I did back then I tattooed home on my skin So I’d never feel lost like that Now wherever I go— I don’t gotta go back [Bridge – stripped, raw] No house… no place… Could ever replace The moment I realised I could give myself space No key… no door… No need to search anymore— I am the home I was lookin’ for [Final Chorus – anthemic but soft] I tattooed home on myself So I’d never be homeless again Now I carry that place In my bones, in my breath I tattooed home on my skin So I’d never feel lost like that Now wherever I go— I know I’ll be okay [Outro – whisper] I’m home… I’m home 🎤✨
