I thought I left it all behind
Trapped in thought and trapped in state of mind
But as I stand here all alone
Plagued by images of home
Looking back I stood my ground
Making promises lost but never found
And as I call you to my side
To help me set aside my pride
It isn't easy
To ask you to free me
It's hard to stay this strong
It isn't easy
Knowing you need me
To stay where I don't belong
Shattered gla** now makes the frame
It's not enough to hear you call my name
To stay or remain? It hurts just the same
My heart is still my own
A different world on either side:
To swallow love or to swallow pride?
One heart in pain, the other in vain
Where will I ever thrive?
It isn't easy
To ask you to free me
It's hard to stay this strong
It isn't easy
Knowing you need me
To stay where I don't belong
