The burning inside
Starts to let go
Turns into smoke
Nobody shows it
The spark in your eye
Carries the hope
That died long ago
Everyone knows it
The hope that you have
The dream that we were
Home feels so far away
You were made for more than just pain
Looking for reasons to try
A reason to live or to die
Won’t you come home?
Back to where your heart is
This is the meaning of life
You were born for the dance not the fight
Won’t you come home?
Back to where your heart is
Won’t you come home?
Won’t you come home?
There once was a girl
Who’s now just a ghost
Who’s now just a ghost
Everyone knows it
You’ve seen it before
We watched you explode
The highs and the lows
But nobody shows it
And nothing hurts worse
Than hope thats deferred
So don’t let this slip away
I see you shining under the shame
Looking for reasons to try
A reason to live or to die
Won’t you come home
Back to where you started
This is the meaning of life
You were born for the dance not the fight
Won’t you come home
Back to where your started
Fading away
Fading away
Fading away
Looking for reasons to try
A reason to live or to die
Won’t you come home?
Back to where your heart is
This is the meaning of life
You were born for the dance not the fight
Won’t you come home?
Back to where your heart is
Won’t you come home?
Won’t you come home?
