Verse
                                               
I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
                                      
I never stick around long enough to make it
                                     
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
                                             
It's not as if I mind that heart ain't exactly breakin'
                          
It's just a thought, only a thought

Chorus
                                          
If my li-i-i-ife is for  rent and I don't learn to buy
                                           
   Well, I dese-erve nothing more than I get
                               (ring)    
  Cuz nothin I ha-a-a-ave is truly mine
 
Verse
                                                   
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
                                              
'Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me.
                           
Its just a thought, only a thought

Chorus
                                          
If my li-i-i-ife is for  rent and I don't learn to buy
                                           
   Well, I dese-erve nothing more than I get
                                    
  'Cos nothin I-i-i ha-a-a-ave is truly mine
                 
But if my life is for rent
                   
and I-i don't learn to buy-y-y
                               
 Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
                            
'Cos nothin I ha-a-a-ave 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-y
                     
Well how can I say I'm alive.
