"Nobody's Home" lyrics

These stairs go nowhere
I'm just outside
These stairs go nowhere
I'm just outside

One hundred years gone by
I'm here to darken your door
One thousand seas I've cried
I'm bruised, I'm shattered and torn

You beckoned me, invited me
Said I'd be welcome in there
Were those lies?
The lights are off
It doesn't mean that
I was meant to be the light
It just means...

Nobody's home
Came so far my own
Dreaming of the tree
We could grow into be
It's all overgrown
I'm here all alone
Searching for a key
Nobody's home...

In there are cherished things you used to draw me near
Do you lock what you love away, or only what you fear?

You said I was precious too
That I would fit right in, you lied
The windows shut, it doesn't mean
I was meant to open them
Open them, open them

Nobody's home
Came here my own
Dreaming of the tree
We would grow into be
Do you even know
I'm here all alone
Searching for the key?
You said don't go alone
It's all that I've known
I thought this could be
A new beginning for me
You are not coming home
I'm here all alone
Searching for the key
Nobody's home...

These stairs go nowhere
I'm just outside
If you are not here
Then where am I?

Nobody's home...
Nobody's home...
Nobody's home...

Stay away don't come home, this is my world
Stay away don't come home, this is my world
