Transient (I Don’t Miss)

When your father died you were twenty-two
Finally taught you something after years of abuse
That truly all those debts you can't undo
Crying on your bed, as you were salting the wound
An object of a sacrament but most men think it's just a test
I think it's time we finally come to see the truth
I get it now, where you've been?
I had guilt, you had other men
I guess we both measured ourselves to them

Home never was the same again
Of all the things I missed, yeah you were one of them
Home never was the same again
Of all the things I said, it's what I always meant

I could preach to you now about honest men
I was seventeen and just a stupid kid
Knew nothing more than my sacraments
But even then I'm still the best man you've ever met
That makes me sad for both of us
I'm proud that you swore off drugs
The courage that must of took
So I got fucked for both of us
Cried in my fathers truck and you just sat

Home never was the same again
Of all the things I missed, yeah you were one of them
Home never was the same again
Of all the things I said, it's what I always meant
Makes me wish we never met
So damn hard to just forget
That one fall we were alone together
You follow roads that you don't know
Hoping that they'll guide you home

If what you want is a home
You'll waste of time that you spent
It's not the places you found
But in the people you kept
If you think you're alone it's just a turn of the head
If you've been here before then you can beat this again

Home never was the same again
Of all the things I missed, yeah you were one of them
Home never was the same again
Of all the things I said, it's what I always meant
Makes me wish we never met
So damn hard to just forget
That one fall we were alone together
You follow roads that you don't know
Hoping that they'll guide you home
