Home (Solo Version)

from Home / Hope is Dangerous by Ian Doherty

lyrics

Hang up your coat and stay a while
I know it’s hard sometimes
To let go of the things you carry

But here’s a warm, familiar place
Where you can rest your weary face
Somewhere to call your sanctuary

And though what troubles you will still be there
For right now, it could be okay

Come take some time with me
And tell me what’s been on your mind
I may not know it all,
But there may be peace that we can find

You make it sound like you don’t care
But your eyes betray the hurt inside
The darkest secrets that you hide

We keep such heavy locks on rooms
But the more you pack behind those doors
The more the cracks will form

Soon enough, you’ll have to deal with it
But you don’t have to on your own

Come take some time with me
And help relax your anxious mind
I may have problems too,
But there may be peace that we can find
Together

So maybe it’s too hard to trust
Or you think you can’t get a word in
Everyone’s got troubles, too
And you'd hate to be a burden

Well, I’ve heard it said that sorrow shared is sorrow halved
Why don’t we share this weight together?
You place your trust in me, and I’ll place mine in you
We’ll build a home to last the weather

I cannot force you to do
Anything that you don’t want to
Just know I’m here for you
You’re not alone

(Instrumental)

I keep wasting too much time
Wandering these halls like they’re not mine
Thinking I have to on my own—
I’ve been so wrong

I get so lost inside myself
But you and I can talk this out
And turn this house back to
The place where we belong

We’re on our way back home
