I'll be coming home
Just to be alone
'Cause I know you're not there
And I know you don't care
I can hardly wait to leave this place
No matter how hard I try
You're never satisfied
This is not a home
I think I'm better off alone
You always disappear
Even when you're here
This is not my home
I think I'm better off alone
Home, this house is not a home
By the time you come home
I'm already stoned
You turn off the tv
And you scream at me
I can hardly wait
'Til you get off my case
No matter how hard I try
You're never satisfied
This is not a home
I think I'm better off alone
You always disappear
Even when you're here
This is not my home
I think I'm better off alone
Home, this house is not a home
This house is not a home
I'm better off alone
Just to be alone
'Cause I know you're not there
And I know you don't care
I can hardly wait to leave this place
No matter how hard I try
You're never satisfied
This is not a home
I think I'm better off alone
You always disappear
Even when you're here
This is not my home
I think I'm better off alone
Home, this house is not a home
By the time you come home
I'm already stoned
You turn off the tv
And you scream at me
I can hardly wait
'Til you get off my case
No matter how hard I try
You're never satisfied
This is not a home
I think I'm better off alone
You always disappear
Even when you're here
This is not my home
I think I'm better off alone
Home, this house is not a home
This house is not a home
I'm better off alone

*stoned meaning use of drugs or being drunk
My mom committed suicide when I was ten. Then I had to go live with my dad in Pa when my whole family was in NY. He always expects me to PERFECT. He keeps saying a bunch of bullshit about "I have to be better than him" when I grow up. He doesn't mean a better life. He means PERFECT! It's just not fair at all. He sets his expectations for me at IMPOSSIBLE. So when I come "home" from school every day, it's hell.
