What makes a jealous man? What put the hurt into his hands?
She won't cry, won't let him see this time
All of the damage done, I've watched all love go wrong
Wipe my eyes and pray that it's alright
He came back late that night
Too drunk and too many times
He tried to pick a fight
I lay awake and my brother cries
If home is where the heart is, then where is mine?
I'm living on a landmine
And I hate it when you say I'm sorry'
You did all that you could to protect me
And I know you wish you never
But we can make it better
We can make it better if we try
It's so habitual, he loves the heartache and the thrills
It's all he's known and can't outgrow
All of the damage done to him when he was young
It's all she's known - just skin and bone
Like a heirloom of scars, passed down from broken hearts
Who don't think they deserve anything in this world
If home is where the heart is, then where is mine?
We're living on a landmine
And I hate it when you say I'm sorry'
You did all that you could to protect me
And I know you wish you never
But we can make it better
We can make it better if we try
He tried to take her name
Her chance to get away
All I remember was the doorway to the house
As quiet as a mouse, inside I scream out loud
'Don't ever come back round, don't ever come back round'
And I hate it when you say I'm sorry'
You did all that you could to protect me
And I know you wish you never
But we can make it better
We can make it better if we try
