Perfect Home
0:00 / 0:00

Verse 1

Perfect home and I'm perfectly happy

As long as there's nobody else there

No other family

I'm all alone, in my perfect home

I don't know the last time

I had somebody over

Not including the landlord

Or the neighbor

I'm all alone

In my perfect home

Verse 2

I remember the first time

I was ever all alone

My momma did it on purpose

To teach me what it means

When I say 'I don't care'

She left me there all alone

In our perfect home

Outro

I said Mamma,

The weight of the world is resting on my shoulder, right there

So you see it's so much better

It's better, better, better if I don't care

That's why I'm there

All alone, in my perfects home.

Don't know the last time

But I remember the first time
