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
