way back home

I got your picture on my wall

I wake up and see your face

When my friends ask where you've gone

I say I haven't seen you in days

And Mum still thinks you're around her

And Dad's still in that daze

My best friend's with her sister

I guess mine's in a better place

See I don't cry so often

And I thought it won't hurt no more

But last night felt like stones had been broken

Wish you'd never left me alone

Wish that I could see you more

The night you left was when a part of me died

Now I hope you find your way back home

I remember you laying backwards

And how the medicine hadn't helped

I thought it didn't affect me

But all I see is that orange dress

Mum still keeps it in her closet

And Dad sees it every day

I pretend you're still around me

Still cut a cake on your birthday

I know I was young when you left us

Now I feel like I'm you on this earth

But at times your memory kicks in

Wish you'd woken up from the worst

Wish that I could see you more

The night you left was when a part of me died

Now I hope you find your way back home

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

I wish I could hold you close

But I know where you are

And you look over me at times

And say I've found my way back home
