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

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
