Only A Year Or So...

I want you to come home

I'm tired of being alone

And it's making me sick not knowing if you're safe and alright

The kids are growing up so fast

And knowing you're missing them

And they're missing you, has given me a pain so deep inside

Something from this world can't explore

Lately I feel like I've been becoming someone else

Someone I don't recognise, and someone I don't even like

I need you here to help me remember what it's like to truly be alive

Everyday I try my best to not get completely overwhelmed with you being gone

Please tell me how to be strong

Because everyday I am so worried I could lose you

There are so many things going on, so many things I want to share with you

I'm selfish for wanting you home, I know, but I really can't help it

I need you

We need you

I love you completely

I just want you to come home

Only a year or so they said

You won't miss out on anything

Save me from, free me from dispair

I just want you to come home

When the world is really dead

I lay at night thinking of you and the kids

Trying to put this into perspective of this day in the world

So much is happening in my life and I can't seem to put a finger on who I am

And these are the times I wonder what I was thinking

I mean what the hell was I thinking

Everyone says we're heroes, but I feel like I've abandoned you

I could feel the blood racing through my body, and know that I'm growing distant from the world

Only a year or so they said

You won't miss out on anything

Save me from, free me from dispair

And know that I'm growing distant from the world

When the world's really dead

The wait is over

Stuck inside this mess

Dying to hold, you're all on your own

Praying to get out alive

Alive, praying to get out alive

Alive, praying to get out alive
