[Verse 1]

To most it's just a farmhouse

To those that pass it by

With two names on a mailbox

And one car in the drive

Where in love it once grew wild

As a blooming dogwood tree

But the voice now echoes off the nails

Where pictures used to be

[Pre-Chorus]

Now it's just an old house

That no one comes home to

An everyday reminder of all I had to lose

[Chorus]

I might as well be in prison

'Cause the worst place I could be

It's home sweet heartache

Population me

[Bridge]

I painted up our bedroom

I even changed the sheets

I haven't changed the locks

Hoping you still got the key

And you'll come back to me

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause now it's just an old house

That no one comes home to

An everyday reminder of all I had to lose

[Chorus]

I might as well be in prison

'cause the worst place I could be

It's home sweet heartache

Population me

[Pre-Chorus]

It was built for our tomorrows

Now it holds our yesterdays

A symbol of our promise is all but washed away

[Chorus]

Well I might as well be in prison

'Cause it ain't home sweet home to me

It's home sweet heartache

Population me

[Outro]

It's home sweet heartache

Population me

Yeah population me
