[Verse 1]
This home has never felt so unfamiliar
Now that you've gone away
These ghosts echo in the empty space
All alone, what was once a greater picture
Is now a vacant frame just left to wither and wane
Feeling strained, crawling on my knees against
This endless grain and dragging feet at the expense
Of progress in any way
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's funny how the tables have turned
And the advice that you gave me is now mine to give to you
A mother's love in four simple words
Forever keeping me, can now keep you too
And even after your departure
I swear, I can hear you say, "Be good, be safe"
[Chorus]
This vulnerability has left me struggling
Constantly moving at a pace I can't keep
This house is not a home, an emptiness I can't ignore
This house is not a home, I don't belong here anymore
This house is not a home, an emptiness I can't ignore (This vulnerability has left me struggling)
This house is not a home, I don't belong here anymore (Constantly moving at a pace I can't keep)
[Bridge]
Well maybe they call it starting a new chapter
But I can never seem to finish the last one in time
Now the book keeps moving forward
And I am always stuck one page behind
But these words that you always told me still resonate inside this space
I'm trying to be good, I'm trying to be safe
[Chorus]
This vulnerability has left me struggling
Constantly moving at a pace I can't keep
This house is not a home, an emptiness I can't ignore
This house is not a home, I don't belong here anymore
This house is not a home, an emptiness I can't ignore (This vulnerability has left me struggling)
This house is not a home, I don't belong here anymore (Constantly moving at a pace I can't keep)
[Outro]
This vulnerability has left me struggling
This vulnerability has left me struggling
Vulnerability, vulnerability, vulnerability
