Lyrics[]
Home, it's not brick or stone Or comfort in the firelight, Not in that sense anyway. Dreams, if only I had known But these things always seem So much clearer at a distance. I'm walking out of this town I'm never going back there, I'm never going back there. I'd burn the place to the ground. I'm never going back there, I'm never going back there again. Words only could break that ring You know the words still sting So much harder than the blows ever did. Heart, though it's hot and violent My head is cool and quiet As the ashes that fall from the sky I'm walking out of this town I'm never going back there, I'm never going back there. I burn the place to the ground. I'm never going back there, I'm never going back there again. Now, I know this shattered feeling, Trampled but still breathing. I'm just waiting for a good day I'm walking out of this town I'm never going back there, I'm never going back there. I've burn the place to the ground. I'm never going back there, I'm never going back there again. Never going back there again, I'm never going back there again
