When I said I'm leaving
I never meant to say I'm leaving you
I know I promised that I
Would never hurt you and I don't intend to
But I'm doing all I can just to make a change
My soul wasn't born to stay
That's why I'm leaving all my love and my heart behind
For you to hold on while I'm so far away
And while I'm not home, just leave the light on
Just in case I make it home, home today
Though my heart's not changing
This world won't let loose of me to get to you
No one said it's easy
And tomorrow may not hold just what you want
But I'm doing all I can just to make a change
My soul wasn't born to stay
That's why I'm leaving all my love and my heart behind
For you to hold on while I'm so far away
And while I'm not home, just leave the light on
Just in case I make it home
Home to the place where I know you'll be there
Is the light still shining?
I'm sending this to let you know that I still care
And I won't stop fighting
But if I don't make it back, just know I left all of my heart behind
For you to hold on while I'm so far away
Just know I'm leaving my heart behind
For you to hold on while I'm so far away
And if I'm not home, just leave the light on
Just in case I make it home, home today
