Four walls

A roof

And those days waiting for your calls

 

500 days

And you're still not here

You said always

But it's been over a year

 

First it was Thanksgiving

Then it was Christmas

I feel guilty

For being unforgiving

But you chose to miss this

 

I'm not the only one

We all shed tears

We hide it in the sun

And we'll hide it for years

 

You left us here

You went alone

You chose to disappear

Now we're all grown

 

Please come back home
