[Verse 1] I'm sick of living lies, and I'm sick of the suspense I can't tell you much, but I can tell you I'm content I'm living on the fence, I'm living with the fear I'm glad that you're happy but I'm sad you're not here Wherever you steer, wherever you go I swear that you'll always find a home Never be alone, just follow your heart It'll always lead you right back to the start You are so smart, don't ever give up I've never known you to be anything but tough Never gave a f**, always played it cool Surpa**ed anything I ever tried to do in school Or even in the pool, you even beat me at that I miss all those times that I'll never get back I guess I kinda act, a little insecure But you made me stronger, you were my cure Memories all blurred, they seem to fade away What I wouldn't give to have you home another day There isn't really much left for me to say But what it is, I gotta get it out the way [Hook] But when you come home I won't be here Life blurs, and music makes it clear I have people telling me I should stay I can't stick around for another day Come visit me when you have break This isn't for fun, it's my life essay
I can't really see any other way I can't stick around for another day [Verse 2] I spent the other day trying to think about the past All the sh** we did, and the fun we used to have I always came in last and you always came in first Competed for everything ever since birth Playing on the turf, or when we played hoops I would be so close but then I would just lose And then you got rude, you turned into a prick And I was so scared that you'd throw me off a cliff Push me in a ditch, you wanted me dead I remember when you threw that rock at my head I fell into the pond and that water all red Always outside, now I don't get out of bed And you still joke how I used to pronounce words True brother sh** never really occurred I feel we weren't close until a little bit ago And I was so excited when I knew you were home The smile on your face when I showed you my bowl Never any years we were really that close I wish it was so, you left anyway What I wouldn't give to have you home another day There isn't really much left for me to say But what it is, I gotta get it out the way I gotta get it out the way
