I Am Not Your Home

#VocalNPM

Don’t make a home out of me

Don’t leave your emotional baggage suitcase at the steps of my door

Or change the carpets to wooden floors

Don’t change me around to suit you

Because you’re not going to like everything I do

To be with you

I may choose to stay

I may choose to go

We can’t predict the future, so how can you know?

Don’t toss your happiness out the window because I’m not there

Happiness lies within you and that’s only fair

Everyone is temporary

Everything changes

That’s just the way it is

I wasn’t born to be a home for you
