Eyes fixed on the door
The handle cold and steady
Your mind's made up, your things are packed
For a long time you've been ready

Hours pass, the days grow long
The night seems like a lifetime
Your eyes in tears, your feet of stone
You're a stranger in your own home
Your own home, your own home, your own home

Take it all back - you had it but it's gone
Take it all back - you knew yourself before
The life you once led
Ain't coming back no more
A stranger calls the shots
And you walk out the door

A thousand miles, a thousand stones
A weary cast, a fraction
A truth untold, a life on hold
You're a stranger in your own home
Your own home, your own home, your own home

Take it all back - you had it but it's gone
Take it all back - you knew yourself before
The life you once led
Ain't coming back no more
A stranger calls the shots
And you walk out the door

Take it all back and never
Be a stranger, stranger
Take it all back and never
Be a stranger, stranger

Take it all back and never
Be a stranger, stranger
Take it all back and never
Be a stranger, stranger
