No matter how you rearrange the furniture It's still the same house You can't sweep it under the rug Or polish away years of doubt When the floorboards creak under the weight Of heavy steps walking away It's not a home sweet home that you leave today Home sweet home I miss my home sweet home It hurts me to the bone To have to live alone Talkin' to myself and pictures on a shelf Cuz there ain't nobody else Just my own private hell H-E double L I'm settled now in a new place The paint is fresh on every wall With an extra key under mat In case you decide to call Everything brand new, nothing second hand Unless you decide to call You're welcome here but you won't stay long When sit down with the truth It's not your old sweet home you're returning to Home sweet home You miss your home sweet home And it cuts you to the bone The way you live alone Talkin' to yourself and pictures on a shelf Cuz there ain't nobody else Just your own private hell H-E double L H-E double L
