"Homeless"
Lyrics

​Trapped in this box, alone on the streets,
begging for someone else to love me.

I'm searching for you, are you searching for me?
'Cause I've been abandoned.
​(yeah)

Falling behind in the human race, do you even recognize my face?
I'm thinking of who and what I wanted to be,

but we don't have no time to waste,
I don't believe that it's too late...

To let the walls fall down,
let your heart give in,
set your emotions free from all the pain.
Say a promise that you'll never leave me homeless.
(Oh no, oh no)

Looking for change, cause I want a taste,
of something that's better than this place.

But I'm finding out there's just no easy way,
as I'm plotting my escape, I don't believe that its too late...

To let the walls fall down, let your heart give in,
set your emotions free from all the pain.

Say a promise that you'll never leave me....
Home is where the heart is, so if you're homeless
where do you go to find the heart?
To get through the struggles,
to get through your troubles.
(Yeah)

Just let your walls fall down, let your heart give in,
set your emotions free from all the pain.

Just let your walls fall down, let your heart give in,
set your emotions free from all the pain.

Say a promise that you'll never leave,
say a promise that you'll never leave,
say a promise that you'll never leave me
homeless.
(Oh no, oh no)
