i haven't ever really found a place that i call home

i never stick around quite long enough to make it

i apologize that once again i'm not in love

but it's not as if i mind

that your heart ain't exactly breaking

it's just a thought, only a thought



but if my life is for rent and i don't loan to buy

well i deserve nothing more than i get

'cause nothing i have is truly mine



i've always thought

that i would love to live by the sea

to travel the world alone

and live more simply

i have no idea what's happened to that dream

cause there's really nothing left here to stop me

it's just a thought, only a thought



but if my life is for rent and i don't learn to buy

well i deserve nothing more than i get

cos nothing i have is truly mine



while my heart is a shield and i won't let it down

while i am so afraid to fail so i won't even try

well how can i say i'm alive



if my life is for rent...
