Nobody’s Home Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I couldn't tell you
Why she felt that way

She felt it every day
And I couldn't help her
I just watched her make
The same mistakes again


[Pre-Chorus]
What's wrong, what's wrong now? (What's)
Too many, too many problems (Wrong)
Don't know where she belongs (Now)
Where she belongs

[Chorus]
She wants to go home, but nobody's home
That's where she lies, broken inside
With no place to go, no place to go
To dry her eyes, broken inside

[Verse 2]
Open your eyes (Open your eyes)
And look outside
Find the reasons why
You've been rejected (You've been rejected)
And now you can't find
What you've left behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Be strong, be strong now (Be)
Too many, too many problems (Strong)
Don't know where she belongs (Now)
Where she belongs

[Chorus]
She wants to go home, but nobody's home
That's where she lies, broken inside
With no place to go, no place to go
To dry her eyes, broken inside

[Bridge]
Her feeling she hides, her dreams she can't find
She's losin' her mind, she's fallen behind
She can't find her place, she's losin' her faith
She's fallen from grace, she's all over the place

Yeah

[Chorus]
She wants to go home, but nobody's home
That's where she lies, broken inside
With no place to go, no place to go
To dry her eyes, broken inside

[Outro]
She's lost inside, lost inside, oh, oh
She's lost inside, lost inside, oh, oh
Oh

Genius Annotation

With the video’s cinematography portraying a juxtaposition between the aristocracy and those succumbing to poverty, this song is both darkly empathic and introspective.

It’s denoting the idea that celebrities that have attained a certain level of fame are just as alienated from those they once knew as fiscally deprived individuals that have nobody to rely upon.

This track should be taken at face value too, though. It’s essentially narrating the woes that unsuccessful artists face resultant of putting all their hopes into a creative career – something that Avril is just as much internally ruminating upon as she is sympathizing about.
