nobody's home lyrics

She can talk for hours words don't cover the scars
She thinks she's crazy but they've just pushed her too far
She runs to the mirror only savior she's known
Another slap on her face 'cause nobody's home

Mother's always working, slinging beer on the side
Her dad's watching TV and he's still getting high
She knows he'll be waiting, tryin' to get her alone
She hangs out on the corner 'cause nobody's home

All she ever wanted was a place on this earth
She shouts for a savior for anyone to hear her
All she ever needed was hope in a world
In a world where she feels all alone 'cause nobody's home

She cries for attention, hanging on by a thread
She can't stop the screaming going on in her head
Tears on the pillow, these are things she won't miss
Nothing to believe in so it comes down to this

Blood on the mirror, temptation is bliss
Pills on the table, she just couldn't resist
Now nobody's home

All she ever wanted was a place on this earth
She shouts for a savior for anyone to hear her
All she ever needed was hope in a world
In a world where she feels all alone 'cause nobody's home
