LYRICS
Yes I made the choice, for papa I will stay
But I don't deserve to lose my freedom in this way, you monster
If you think what you have done is right well then you're a fool, think again
Is this home? Is this where I should learn to be happy?
Never dreamed that a home could be dark and cold.
I was told, every day in my childhood, even when we grow old...
Home will be where the heart is. Never were words so true.
My hearts far, far away. Home is too.
Is this home? Is this what I must learn to believe in?
Try to find something good in this tragic place
Just in case I should stay here forever held in this empty space.
Oh, but that won't be easy, I know the reason why.
My hearts far, far away. Home's alike.
What I'd give to return to the life that I knew lately.
But I know that I can't solve my problems going back.
Is this home? Am I here for a day or forever.
Shut away from the world until who knows when.
Oh but then, as my life has been altered once, it can change again.
Build higher walls around me. Change every lock and key.
Nothing lasts, nothing holds all of me.
My hearts far, far away. Home and free.
