Home I Never Had

I don't want to say goodbye

I don't want to leave

But the years have disappeared

In just a single blink

I want to take you with me

The family I never had

Heart a little too heavy

I tell myself it's not that bad

But where the hell were you

So ever long ago?

Where was this warmth

Amidst the frigid snow?

I want to keep this feeling

Of just being, just being

But I know I'm on time

That will never be mine

And where the hell were you

All the sleepless school nights?

Where was this joy

Over amphibious delights?

I want to keep your stories

But they'll never be mine

I want to keep your laughter

When life isn't kind

So where the hell are you

As the years go by?

Don't ever leave me again

Stand with me against the tide

I don't want to be numb again

I don't want to let go

Why do I have to leave when

I just found my home?
