Toledo

Sometimes you say words that hurt me sometimes you don't deserve me and you often make me cry but you are Home you are Home you...are...Home When I've lost all my fight and I've got no more left to give its you that's there to remind me it's not you the struggle's with. Its bigger than us, its bigger than this. With a war raging on inside I've got to run away and hide but you are Home you are Home you...are...Home You've taught me everything I know. Don't want to get to where I'm going the cheap way, the sneaky way. Like Scarlett O Hara and her Father's love for Tara she didn't understand until the very end. I make enemies of friends and dream of Michigan but you are not the problem. I am. Trying to leave you behind on your own train tracks on the East Side tightly tied. But this soil is mine and for once in my life I need to simply reside here. You are Home.
