Can't Go Home

(C) E. Edwards, February 2015

Can’t Go Home

 

I gave you four weeks; you only took a day.

I came to learn that you'd never make me stay.

Just another burden of this life.

When I am closed-off, I only wonder why

It's always my fault, when maybe you should try.

Sick with fear, shamed by your ignorance.

 

We all conformed, I never had a choice.

This desert life is all I know.

 

CHORUS:

I can't go home.

There's nothing left in here for me,

Nothing here to make you bleed.

I can't go home.

I’m sure one day you’ll see the truth.

Until then, I’ll take the curse for you.

 

I tell you one thing, you never let it go.

Victimise me for what I can't control.

It never hurt to be somebody else.

And when I'm sure you have your share of flaws,

What have I ever had to be sorry for?

Sick with fear, shamed by your ignorance.

 

We all conformed, I never had a choice.

This desert life is all I know.

 

CHORUS

 

And god, did I warn you?!

 

You all conformed, never gave a second thought.

And now I really am alone.

 

CHORUS

 

And god, did I warn you?!
