[Verse 1]
Well I did everything I could
But there was something you never understood
Well I didn't want to break you heart
I just felt that I was following a path in the dark
[Chorus]
Well there was many a time when you were absent
I really felt alone
And even when you were present
I didn't feel that I was home
Sometimes we'd laugh together
As if moments would never go by
But you know, you were never able
To wipe the tears from my eyes
[Verse 2]
And those times when I thought to go
I'd think of you and tell myself no
And the thing you need to see
Is that I long to have wings, fly and be free
[Chorus]
Well there was many a time when you were absent
I really felt alone
And even when you were present
I didn't feel that I was home
Sometimes we'd laugh together
As if moments would never go by
But you know, you were never able
To wipe the tears from my eyes
[Verse 3]
As the days come closing in
Distance between us growing thick and thin
Now I see there's a fork in the road
And my fingers are itching to let fate unfold
[Chorus]
Well there was many a time when you were absent
I really felt alone
And even when you were present
I didn't feel that I was home
Sometimes we'd laugh together
As if moments would never go by
But you know, you were never able
To wipe the tears from my eyes
