Lyrics:

Nothing’s the same, it changed
And home doesn’t feel like it’s home
And I don’t wanna stay but I got nowhere to go
Everything’s fake and I don’t know what I want anymore
I wish I was home

Used to have dreams
I used to believe
Now I can’t take all these thoughts of mine
I never sleep and I’m in too deep
And I’ll never find my peace of mind
Away, I’ll run away
But I can’t escape what’s in my mind
What's in my mind

I just need love, and I just need drugs
It’s never enough to say I’m high
Too many pills, and everyone feels
Like killing themselves
Well, so do I
Head in the sky, I’m living a lie
I’m tired of living a double-life
A double-life

Nothing’s the same, it changed
And home doesn’t feel like it’s home
And I don’t wanna stay but I got nowhere to go
Everything’s fake and I don’t know what I want anymore
I wish I was home
I wish I was home

Nothing’s the same, it changed
And home doesn’t feel like it’s home
And I don’t wanna stay but I got nowhere to go
Got nowhere to go
