Old Home Lost

My biggest fear come true
I screwed up enough to lose
You said I'd never be pushed out
Now I'm sinking like rain from a cloud

What happened to the promise of home?
Do you not see the loss in my heart?
I'm sorry my sadness got in the way
Of your family daily parade

Wish I could go home
I'm on the outside looking in
Wish I had one more night
Alone with my brotherly kin
But that's okay
I know I deserve this loss

What was it you said?
"You'd never screw up that bad"
I told you from the beginning
I'm not worth keeping

What happened to the promise of love?
Is it that easy to fill in my spot?
I'm sorry my mistakes ruined us
This family I used to trust

Wish I could go home
I'm on the outside looking in
Wish I had one more night
Alone with my brotherly kin
But that's okay
I know I deserve this loss

You get a happy ending
While I'm the villain in prison
I was misunderstood, yeah
But I see the need for you to be happy

Carry on, without me there
I hope old family treats you fair
And when the holidays run around
I hope you're in the clouds

Wish I could go home
I'm on the outside looking in
Wish I had one more night
Alone with my brotherly kin
But that's okay
I know I deserve this loss
