I pack my bags and say goodbye
to my wife for what seems
like the millionth time.
They said it gets easier, but they lied.
She looks at me and says,
"Really, baby, I will be just fine,"
But then she looks away so
I don't have to see her cry.
And that is when I ask myself:
How am I supposed to be everything
they e pect me to be when I feel so
alone, cause I left my heart at home?
She needs me, but I know they need me
too. So, God, give me the strength
to do what you created me to do.
Really, I'm so thankful for the
people I meet, the places I've been
and the things I've seen, but when
she's not here it doesn't feel like
I'm living my dream. I know they
say that no one is perfect, but I
swear she's perfect for me and that
makes it so much harder to leave.
How am I supposed to be everything
they e pect me to be when I feel so
alone, 'cause I left my heart at home?
She needs me, but I know they need me
too. So, God, give me the strength
to do what you created me to do.
If you miss me, I'm just a phone call
away. Please be strong, be strong for
me. I need you to show me how to change
the inside of me. For my heart, for
their sake. Be strong, be strong for me!
How am I supposed to be
everything they e pect me to be
when I feel so alone, so alone?
How am I supposed to be everything
they e pect me to be when I feel so
alone, 'cause I left my heart at home?
She needs me, but I know they need me
too. So, God, give me the strength
to do what you created me to do.
