I've been so far off
So shaken and distant
And I never understood why...

I just can't feel comfortable
Where I am
But I know it'll be good for me
In the end
Then why do I feel so uncomfortable
In my own skin?
Why do I feel so empty?

That's when I realized
This is not where I want to be
Because it's not where my family is
The one I have died off years ago
But the ones who took me in
Resurrected me

When dad said
"When are you coming
To live with us again?"
I nearly fell apart
I yearn to be where I feel I belong
And I guess I've found that place

But now I'm nearly trapped
Miles away with no escape
All I want is to be home
With the only real family
I've ever really known
