Home from Home by CJ Lawrence

Open roads and starry skies
Home, where buffalo used to roam
Thunderstorms and space to breathe
Lightning bugs and colorful dying leaves

But it's easier to stay away
Cause I still feel betrayed
And it's easier to hate this place
Than to wish I could have stayed

Backyard beers confirm my fears
You see a woman even after all these years
Why's your love just taste like pain?
Why say you're sorry just to take it back again?

So it's easier to stay away
Cause I still feel betrayed
And it's easier to hate this place
Than to wish I could have stayed

Coulda spent my Christmas on a different plane ticket
On a grand adventure anywhere but here
I'm sick of all who see this as a happy ending
Like I asked too much to be treated fair

So it's easier to stay away
Cause I still feel betrayed
And it's easier to hate this place
Than to wish I could have stayed

Wasted hot tub talks 'til dawn
You say time's up, forgive or don't come back again
Why's my brain still call this home?
Why'd I come here just to feel so alone?
