Back Home

I walked for miles inside my head Trying to outrun the words you said Then you touched my hand without a sound And I could finally lay my burdens down I spent years acting hard to reach Hiding every wound underneath Still your eyes stayed steady in the dark Like you already knew my heart And you kept showing up for me Without grand lines of poetry Just honest hands and tired eyes Staying there on sleepless nights And if the world cuts deep into my skin If every promise starts to wither in I'm not asking you to fix the pain I just need someone who'll remain And all the roads I thought I knew Led me straight back home to you I used to think that love burns fast A sudden high that never lasts But this feels quiet, deep and real Something time could never steal You know the side I tried to hide The fear and all my pride And you just took it all in stride And showed me your own scars inside And on nights I almost gave it up Stopped believing I was strong enough Then your voice cut through the noise in my mind And brought me back to life And if the world cuts deep into my skin If every promise starts to wither in You pull me back before I disappear You make me feel I belong here And all the roads I thought I knew Led me straight back home to you Led me straight back home to you
