I got lost out there in this world

Looking for a brand new wave to fall down

It's no surprise that things got worse

And I think I never let me drown

But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long

I didn't have to let myself get so far gone

I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone

I didn't have to die to go to heaven

I just had to go home

While I was having the time of my life

I think my soul died a little every day

I always called to say I'm sorry

You said it's okay but you should be

Through it all you never walked away

But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long

I didn't have to let myself get so far gone

I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone

I didn't have to die to go to heaven

I just had to go home

Into the arms of my angel

Into the piece I've left behind

All I had to do to save my own life

Was to look into your eyes

But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long

I didn't have to let myself get so far gone

I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone

I didn't have to die to go to heaven (to find my angel)

But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long

I just had to go home (I just had to go home)

I just had to go home
