Katelyn Tarver - When I Leave Home lyrics

[Verse 1] It always hits me when I'm leaving This overwhelming sense of all I got We sat around until the evening Making fun of how we used to talk [Pre-Chorus 1] Got a life that I love going back to Sometimes I wish that I didn't have to [Chorus] I know that I'll cry Soon as I say goodbye There's already a lump in my throat I'm always surprised, after all of this time After so many years on my own I don't wanna go I always get this way when I leave home [Verse 2] I've always felt a little guilty I think it kinda breaks my father's heart That we live in different cities And I never built a house in the backyard [Pre-Chorus 2] Got a life that I love going back to Wouldn't mean much if I didn't have you [Bridge] By now I'm old enough to know it's part of growing up It's just so bittersweet sometimes By now I'm old enough to know I'm one of the lucky ones It's just so bittersweet sometimes
