I heard that you were [bad word] home
Maybe it's just where you belong
You know it fits you like your favorite song
Helps you see through, to be you

The day you found the [bad word] in a lie
It only took you over half of your life [bad word] clean, say you didn't try
To see through, to be you

So many years have passed and I've been meaning to ask

Where did you go?
What did you need?
You know I couldn't set you free until I fixed this hole in me
Cause life, it hits so hard that I couldn't breathe
When I was looking for a change in you, I found a change in me
That I couldn't see

When you think of all the days that you missed
How you clenched all your words like a fist
Always looking for something to hit
Like your family, your friends

The times when you knew it was wrong
But you never thought you'd end up alone
Holding it in, letting it go
Saving yourself or letting it show

So many years have passed and I've been meaning to ask

Where did you go?
What did you need?
You know I couldn't set you free until I fixed this hole in me
Cause life, it hits so hard that I couldn't breathe
When I was looking for a change in you, I found a change in me
That I couldn't see

We burned it down, we made it new
I know, I know I failed you
When those four letters, they took your life
So much guilt that I couldn't cry
The light in your eyes, the look on your face
The hole in your heart no one ever graced
Holding [bad word] to the promise you made
Waiting for God and the words to save you
The words to save you

I should have got it right on my first try

Where did you go?
What did you need?
You know I couldn't set you free until I fixed this hole in me
Cause life, it hits so hard that I couldn't breathe
When I was looking for a change in you, I found a change in me
That I couldn't see

Looking for a change in you, I found a change in me
That I couldn't see

Looking for a change in you, I found a change in me
That I couldn't see
