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 God, would never let me drown

[Chorus]
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 everyday
I always call to say I'm sorry, you said it's okay
but you should be. through it all you never walked away.

[Chorus]
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 peace I felt 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, I just had to go home

but I didn't have to lie to myself for so long
I just had to go home
