I never thought leaving home,
Would be as hard as it was,
I left behind two and a half years,
And the streets we grew up on,
I never got a chance to thank you,
For all the love that you gave,
And no I’ll never forget you,
Or that kiss in the rain,
Now every time I go back,
It’s to a family that looks a little older,
It’s getting that much harder to stay,
To stay sober
The world that’s been resting on my shoulders,
Has been getting smaller as I get older,
A lot of the friends I’ve had since I was a kid,
Have slowly left,
But they don’t matter,
No,
They’re not where my roots grow
I’ve been spending too much time,
Living in the world inside my head,
I haven’t been alone,
For over fourteen years on end,
No you’re not just friends,
Your family and always will be,
Know when I come home,
I’ll be the person you’ve seen in me
I’ll be coming home,
I’ll be coming home,
Cause we all need,
Something to hold on to,
You’re all I hold on to.
