House Is Not a Home Lyrics

We used to be forever partners
we swore we'd never separate

oh, I didn't see it changing

Now, a house is not a home
I'm out in the street tonight
a house is not a home
I'm without a dream tonight

We used to be sister and brother
then came lovers and then came pain

oh, I tried to change it

Now, a house is not a home
I'm out in the street tonight
a house is not a home
I'm without a dream tonight

Love and tears bound us together
I fought the men to protect her

oh, I couldn't understand it

Now, a house is not a home
I'm out in the street tonight
a house is not a home
I'm without her heat tonight

Now, I unravel onto the floor
Hearts are spilled onto the floor

oh I, I couldn't change it

Now, a house is not a home
I'm the one degraded
a house is not a home
all of life has faded

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.
