🌟 Lyrics:
Never knew home as some did
My roots weren’t nurtured by emotional security
Never wanted to admit that the lacked constancy
Got me stuck with anxiety
Never felt at ease in my own mind
I just felt so empty all the time
Never wanted to admit I’m lost on my own
Felt like a stranger in my home
But then you rearranged
All this dusty furniture in my brain
In your presence I feel secure
So when you leave I’m stuck
Feeling homesick
All over again
Feeling homesick
Again
Never wanted to appear so damn needy
Was told that it makes me seem small
But I’m lacking confidence
So I always need reassurance
Never wanted to be dependent
That’s something I just knew too well
But I need you like some people need nicotine
I guess I’m an addict that never wants to get clean
Cause you just rearranged
All this dusty furniture in my brain
In your presence I feel secure
So when you leave I’m stuck
Feeling homesick
All over again
I’m feeling homesick
All over again
I’m feeling homesick
All over again
I’m feeling homesick
Again
The more I try to fight it
The more I can’t deny it
The more I try to fight it
The more I can’t deny it
The more I
The more I
The more I try to fight it
The more I
The more I
The more I can’t deny it
The more I try to fight it
The more I can’t deny it
