bon jovi this house is not for sale album lyrics

Here are the lyrics to the title track “This House Is Not For Sale” from Bon Jovi’s album of the same name, released in 2016:

[Verse 1]

These four walls have got a story to tell

The door is off the hinges, there’s no wishing them well

Outside, the sky is coal black and the streets are on fire

The picture windows cracked, and there’s nowhere to hide

[Pre-Chorus]

I know the battle was won, but it came at a cost

And that’s a price I’m not willing to pay

[Chorus]

There’s nothing but the dead left standing in the ruins of this house

That built us up and brought us down

I’d rather die in the fire than live in the ashes

[Verse 2]

These ghosts on the ceiling and the moans from the floor

Are the scars that I can’t cover and the ones I can’t ignore

This house is not for sale

[Pre-Chorus]

I set each stone and I hammered each nail

This house is not for sale

[Chorus]

Where memories live and the dream don’t fail

This house is not for sale

[Bridge]

Coming home, I’m coming home

I’m coming home, I’m coming home

[Chorus]

This house was built on trust

That’s what it is and always was

No wrecking ball could knock it down

This house was built on higher ground

[Outro]

Coming home, I’m coming home

I’m coming home, I’m coming home
