I had to leave to come back home.
A questionable sacrifice,
I know, I did it for myself.
I had to leave to come back home.
And I can't blame ya
if you don't relate,
after 26 years,
I should try this differently.
It was never about the lies
or the hopes that they were true.
Talk like tumbleweeds,
please, and judge me like a piece of art
based on what I was trying to do.
I had to leave to come back home!
I had to leave to come back home!
I had to leave to come back home!
(doo-op/ooo-oooh/shalalalalalalalalalalala)
(I had to leave)
(It's been too many long cold winters)
