[Verse 1]

I mistook the warnings for wisdom

From so-called friends quick to advise

Though your touch was telling me

Otherwise

[Verse 2]

Somehow I saw you as a weakness

I thought I had to be strong

Oh, but I was just young, I was scared

I was wrong

[Chorus]

Not a night goes by I don't dream of wandering

Through the home that might have been

I listened to my pride when my heart cried out for you

Now every day I wake again

In a house that might have been

A home

[Verse 3]

Guess I did what I did believing

That love is a dangerous thing

Oh but that couldn't hurt anymore

Than never knowing

[Chorus]

Not a night goes by I don't dream of wandering

Through the home that might have been

I listened to my pride when my heart cried out for you

Now every day I wake again

In a house that might have been

A home

A home

[Bridge]

Four walls, a roof, a door, some windows

Just a place to run when my workin' day is through

They say home is where the heart is

If the exception proves the rule, I guess that's true

[Chorus]

Not a night goes by I don't dream of wandering

Through the home that might have been

I listened to my pride when my heart cried out for you

Now every day I wake again

In a house that might have been

A home

A home
