And I wish I knew better When I got the news that you were sick again And God, I wish I was ready To say goodbye to little eyes again I'm coming home The family's cursed we're on our own It's living hell on earth, I've let go It's getting worse, I've grown to learn But I don't have the nerve to say so Time doesn't heal slowly This stays with me inside until the end My eyes, always look worried I caught myself outside and looking in I can't pretend The family's cursed we're on our own It's living hell on earth, I've let go It's getting worse, I've grown to learn But I don't have the nerve to say so I awoke again to another call from home And I knew just then from the white noise on the phone I'm coming home We shine ever so brightly When we're miles high above the earth it's said This year was never on our side But I know it will never break us
