I'm a long way from home I feel the weight in my bones I'm tired like a sinner I'm cold and my money's all gone I'm ashamed of the things that I've done Feeling love is like facing a gun The closer you get, the farther that I'm gonna run If I keep on hiding, how will I be known I keep telling myself I'm better alone When my father will carry me If I came back and fell at your feet Would you even recognize me? I'm worn and I'm weathered Your love is a shelter I need If I keep on hiding, how will I be known I keep telling myself that I'm better alone When my father will carry me If I keep on hiding, how will I be known I keep telling myself that I'm better alone When I fall When I fall When my father will carry me home
