Halfway Home Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Blame it on me, I'm an actor, I'm a fake
Blame it on me, I broke your heart, but by mistake
Call it what you wanna, good intentions or denial
But if I'm bein' honest, I've been lyin' for a while
[Chorus]
Halfway right doesn't make it right
Halfway wrong is still wrong
Half of me is with you here tonight
And half of me is long gone
You can try to tell a heart to feel somethin' that it don't
But halfway to Heaven isn't Heaven
And halfway home just ain't home
[Verse 2]
And I put it off, I was selfish, I was scared
I put it off and I know it isn't fair
No one wants to stay, but no one wants to say goodbye
Let's call it what it is and we'll get out of this alive
[Chorus]
Halfway right doesn't make it right
Halfway wrong is still wrong
Half of me is with you here tonight
And half of me is long gone
You can try to tell a heart to feel somethin' that it don't
But halfway to Heaven isn't Heaven
And halfway home just ain't home
Home
Blame it on me, I'm an actor, I'm a fake
Blame it on me, I broke your heart, but by mistake
Call it what you wanna, good intentions or denial
But if I'm bein' honest, I've been lyin' for a while
[Chorus]
Halfway right doesn't make it right
Halfway wrong is still wrong
Half of me is with you here tonight
And half of me is long gone
You can try to tell a heart to feel somethin' that it don't
But halfway to Heaven isn't Heaven
And halfway home just ain't home
[Verse 2]
And I put it off, I was selfish, I was scared
I put it off and I know it isn't fair
No one wants to stay, but no one wants to say goodbye
Let's call it what it is and we'll get out of this alive
[Chorus]
Halfway right doesn't make it right
Halfway wrong is still wrong
Half of me is with you here tonight
And half of me is long gone
You can try to tell a heart to feel somethin' that it don't
But halfway to Heaven isn't Heaven
And halfway home just ain't home
Home
[Bridge]
And I'm sorry, if I hang on to you, I'll drown
I'm so sorry, if I don't let go, I'm goin' down
[Chorus]
Halfway right doesn't make it right
Halfway wrong is still wrong
Half of me didn't see it comin'
Half of me knew it all along
You can try to tell a heart to feel somethin' that it don't
But halfway to Heaven isn't Heaven
And halfway home just ain't home
Home
It ain't home
Home
And I'm sorry, if I hang on to you, I'll drown
I'm so sorry, if I don't let go, I'm goin' down
[Chorus]
Halfway right doesn't make it right
Halfway wrong is still wrong
Half of me didn't see it comin'
Half of me knew it all along
You can try to tell a heart to feel somethin' that it don't
But halfway to Heaven isn't Heaven
And halfway home just ain't home
Home
It ain't home
Home

What did Carly Pearce say about "Halfway Home"?
Genius Answer
This one was hard to write. I wrote this song before I was able to write “I Hope You’re Happy Now.” This is emotions that were happening during the end of a relationship that this person didn’t know it was coming to an end. And it’s just really real and raw. A lot of people don’t want to say that they broke somebody’s heart, but we do it. And sometimes we’re the one that is at fault. This one is hard for me to even play for people, but I had to go there.
