When You're Home

One life that's caught in a tail spin
Two more it brought down with
Three affected remorse

All in a blink of an eye
One hug one first last goodbye
And now they're wondering why
Did they let me go?

They said text me when you're home
I swear I won't forget this time
I've been down this road before
I know every turn and every wind

I said I'll see you in the morning
When the sun it starts to rise
Left my family in the review mirror
And it kills me every time

Swear I was taking my time
Can't go back, can't press rewind
The fault was no one's but mine

Your hearts sank to the floor
All my dreams gone out the door
I had so much to live for

They said text me when you're home
I swear I won't forget this time
But little did we know
That this was our goodbye

Take my hand beside you and you hold it by your side
I never wanna let go
But I think that it's my time

And when you see the lights go out again
Just hold me close and know it's not the end

Even though I've moved on
Doesn't mean that I'm gone

I'll text you when I'm home
I'm only one phone call away
I'm looking down above you
I see the tears roll down your face
