[Intro (Atmospheric build, ambient synths, light percussion]
[Whispered / airy vocal]
Ooooh…
Ooooh…
[Verse 1 (Intimate, sparse instrumentation: piano + pads + subtle percussion]
Been searching for answers
But the places were no good for me
Tired of carrying secrets
Holding them in
Can sleep for hours, but
Still feels like my body’s giving in
(Yeah… my body’s giving in…)
[Pre-Chorus (Layered vocals building, synth swells]
I feel it rising…
The weight I can’t shake
Every wrong turn
Every risk I take
[Chorus (Big, anthemic, full band: drums, bass, synth, layered vocals]
Sorry, but I haven’t been home
And I haven’t for far too long
I’m becoming like someone
Someone I don’t know
(I don’t know…)
Sorry, but I haven’t been home
And I haven’t for far too long
Please,
can someone else be me
For a while
I’m just tired
Trying to live this life
[Verse 2 (Add rhythmic drums, pulsing synths]
It’s like there’s no exit
(No exit)
Only millions of reasons to stay right here I am
Then you get burned out
(burned out)
(Just sick of less)
Pre c
All my white lies became a danger
Nobody has lied to me
More than myself
I think I need it… ooooh oooh
(I think I need it…)
[Chorus (Bigger, gang vocals / layered harmonies]
Sorry, but I haven’t been home
And I haven’t for far too long
I’m becoming like someone
Someone I don’t know
(I don’t know…)
Sorry, but I haven’t been home
(I haven’t for far too long)
Please, can someone else be me
For a while
I’m just tired
Trying to live this life
[Bridge / Rap-Spoken (Half-time, dramatic, percussion drops]
Not been home lately
I look like a stranger
Nothing to lose, nothing to prove
My soul pays cash
Can’t find a way out
I’m not sad, I’m not angry
It’s so damn hard to feel
When I feel nothing
Chasing for answers
But I don’t wanna feel anything
(Don’t wanna feel anything…)
[Final Chorus / Anthem (Full stadium sound, synth + electric guitars + gang vocals]
Sorry, but I haven’t been home
And I haven’t for far too long
It’s like I’m a stranger,
Just becoming someone,
I don’t even know
(I don’t know…I dont know)
Sorry, but I haven’t been home
I’m so sorry, ( so sorry)
haven’t been home
for too long
[Outro (Epic, layered, cinematic]
Ooooh…
So cheers to what I used to be
Ooooh…
Cheers to him I used to be
Ooooh…
Cheers to the one I used to be
Ooooh…
Tonenico
