I got lost out there in this world
Looking for a brand new wave to fall down.
It's no surprise that things got worse
And I think I never let me drown.

But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long.
I didn't have to let myself get so far gone.
I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone.
I didn't have to die to go to heaven.
I just had to go home.

While I was having the time of my life
I think my soul died a little every day.
I always called to say I'm sorry
You said it's okay, but you should be
Through it all you never walked away.

But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long.
I didn't have to let myself get so far gone.
I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone.
I didn't have to die to go to heaven.
I just had to go home...

...Into the arms of my angel
Into the peace I've left behind.
All I had to do to save my own life
Was to look into your eyes.

But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long.
I didn't have to let myself get so far gone.
I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone.
I didn't have to die to go to heaven. (to find my angel)
But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long.
I just had to go home (I just had to go home)
I just had to go home.
