“HOME IS WHERE THE HURT IS” Co-writer: Mitch Stephen [verse] Never let them tell you That four walls don’t speak Last night they cussed the doorway For allowing you to leave And those hallowed halls Cried all night long Calling your footsteps Since God called you home [pre chorus] It was the saddest sound I ever heard And I agreed with every word [chorus] I just can’t go home… The silence hurts my ears I don’t belong… When you’re not here Oh and these four walls Don’t comfort me at all It hurts me where I live Now home is where the hurt is [verse] I’ve kept your easy chair Where it’s always been Like me it wonders When it’ll hold you again And the windows Don’t see you back soon The lights are on But no life in the livin’ room [pre chorus] You wouldn’t believe how hard it is Just listenin’ to the clocks tic [instrumental] This is one place I should be happy But everywhere I turn There’s a memory that yearns [chorus] I just can’t go home… Even silence hurts my ears And I just don’t belong… When you’re not here Oh and these four walls Don’t comfort me at all It hurts me where I live Now home is where the hurt is Oh this house was my heart Now home is where the hurt is
