[Intro]
We don't go back this time, for a place to call my own, for a place that i call home
We don't go back this time, for a place to call my own, for a place that i call home
[Verse 1]
A broken home is something that he used to come from
A broken home is something that he used to run from
He couldn't understand why his dad beat his mum
Coming home, blind drunk, drinking from the pub
Every Friday night
See it was like a war zone
Took a vouch to run away, he's never gonna come home
It wasn't easy man cause' Noah had a sister She was only three man he picked her up and kissed her
He put her down then he went for the door walking past he seen his mums blood splat on the wall
Tears rolled from his eyes, see he's dyin' inside
Clenched up his fist and screamed "Dad you're dyin' tonight!"
Went straight to the kitchen grabbed the blade from the bench, looked at his dad man, and stabbed him straight in the neck
His dad laid there, coughing blood on the floor, looked at his mum and said "He can't hurt us no more"
[Hook: x2]
[Verse 2]
Noah's locked up cause now he's sittin' in a cell
Gettin letters from his mother yeah their doin' well, but Noah's not cause the boy's lookin' outta wack
Tried to get self defense, the judge wouldn't see that
Daddy dead and it's all because of his hands
Talks to god like "is this really it man?"
He can't take it, he feels broken
Never leaves his cell when the yard door opens
He sit's there and just stares at the wall, with no emotions man see the feelings are raw
Wants to ring his boys, but they never answer the calls
Get's a letter from his mum, they can't visit no more
Nightmare in his dreams, he wakes screaming at night, nightmares in his life, cause he's living the life
He looks at me says "Mick I'm livin' hell" I wake up to find Noah dead hangin' in a cell
[Hook x2]
