Leaving the Home You Knew

When you look back there will be nothing there No footprints where you just walked There will be no light in the world you knew For all the candles have melted away The people you thought were your friends Don’t remember who you are The home you never wanted to return to Is just a pile of firewood now The family you thought you knew Has packed up and left this town There is not a school there anymore And no children on the playground The life you thought you knew Never really existed And the memories you once had Will just fade away and be forgotten This town that you once lived in Fell to pieces when you went away My life will never be the same Because here I no longer have a home My life has changed since you have left And there is nothing here anymore
