Intro – Atmospheric build | Ambient synths, distant pulse] [whispered / airy vocals] Ooooh… Ooooh… [slow rise, space, breath] [Verse 1 – Intimate, restrained | Piano + pads] Been searching for answers But the places were never good for me Tired of carrying secrets Holding them in I can sleep for hours Still feel my body giving in (Yeah… my body’s giving in…) And when we’re weak The worst choices get picked No space to see it all Or even guard yourself Or know exactly what you want [Pre-Chorus – Layered vocals, rising tension] I feel it rising This weight I can’t escape Every wrong turn Every risk I take [Chorus – Anthemic, emotional, full band] Sorry, but I haven’t been home And I haven’t for far too long I’m becoming like someone Someone I don’t know (I don’t know…) Sorry, but I haven’t been home And I haven’t for far too long Please, can someone else be me For a while I’m just tired Trying to live this life [Verse 2 – More movement | Pulsing synths, rhythmic drums] It’s like there’s no exit (No exit) Just a million reasons to stay where I am Then you get burned out (Get burned out) Sick of settling for less All my white lies turned dangerous Nobody lied to me More than myself I think I need it… ooooh (I think I need it…) [Pre-Chorus 2 – Bigger build, echoing vocals] The walls are closing in But I won’t let them win Every step I take Feels like I’m sinking in [Chorus – Bigger, gang vocals / harmonies] Sorry, but I haven’t been home And I haven’t for far too long I’m becoming like someone Someone I don’t know (I don’t know…) Sorry, but I haven’t been home And I haven’t for far too long Please, can someone else be me For a while I’m just tired Trying to live this life [Bridge – Spoken / Rap | Half-time, stripped back] Haven’t been home lately I look like a stranger Nothing to lose, nothing to prove My soul pays cash Can’t find a way out I’m not sad, I’m not angry It’s just so hard to feel When I feel nothing Chasing for answers But I don’t wanna feel anything (Don’t wanna feel anything…) [Final Chorus – Stadium-level, cinematic climax] Sorry, but I haven’t been home And I haven’t for far too long It’s like I’m a stranger becoming Someone I don’t even know (I don’t know…) Sorry, but I haven’t been home I’m so sorry — but I’m not there It’s like I’m a stranger becoming Someone I don’t even know [Outro – Epic, layered, cinematic release] Ooooh… Cheers to what I used to be Ooooh… Cheers to him I used to be Ooooh… Cheers to the one I used to be Ooooh… [fade into atmosphere]
