My head is pounding the whole night plays back in rewind I can hardly comprehend feeling fine This heartache hangs over every moment I'm awake As you approach I see you notice my decline You ask me, "Why did you run away? Been friends forever, don't hide from me" I don't know That's why I've come back home It's the only place where I can face the worst of what's inside I suppose I feel accountable 'Cause the problems that I ran away from haunt me every night You tell me that you think you know the reason why I left without saying goodbye "Was it the way it went with Mel?" The truth is I can hardly stomach how I left from her I took the easy out It wasn't easier for everyone "Have you seen her? Is she okay?" You say, "Is guilt the only thing that fuels your curiosity?" I don't know That's why I've come back home It's the only place where I can face the worst of what's inside I suppose I feel accountable 'Cause the problems that I ran away from haunt me every night "I think it's best you let her go She's never been the same you know I think it's time for you to go There's so much more you left behind Your mom and sister come to mind You know they miss you I know you miss them Don't you?"
