A House Is Not a Home Lyrics

A chair is still a chair
Even when no one is not sitting there
But a chair is not a house
A house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss goodnight
A room is still a room
Even when there's nothing there but gloom
But a room is not a house
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart
Now and then I call you name
And suddenly a face appears
But it's just a crazy game
That when it ends
It ends in tears
Oh, so darling, have a heart
Don't let one mistake keep us apart
A hurt man to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I Climb the stairs and turn the key
Please be there
Still in love with me
Oh darling, have a heart
Don't let one mistake keep us apart
A hurt man to live alone
Turns this house into a home
When I Climb the stairs and turn the key
Please be there
Still in love with me
Still in love with me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
