I should have never believed
You've been gone so long
Why did I let you leave?

I should have never believed
You've been gone so long
Why did I let you leave?

Was it simply my self-doubt
That made me give you away?
Thought I couldn't take care of you
Now I'll never see the day

I should have never believed
You've been gone so long
Why did I let you leave?

You've been gone so long
Why did I let you leave?

Our family fell upon hard times
So many mouths to feed
Thought you could have a better life
How could I have seen their greed?
 [bad word] back to me
I should have never believed
You've been gone so long
Why did I let you leave?

I should have never believed
You've been gone so long
You've been gone so long
You've been gone so long
Why did I let you leave?
