Watching my life Play out like a movie With one desperate scene Then another

Misjudging the players The way that I do And when it’s too late I discover

It all came to nothing And it’s starting again I keep thinking different But the same way it ends

Watching the episodes Hoping the hero Can see just what’s ‘Round the corner

The signs were all over The messages clear But I couldn’t stop Couldn’t warn her

It wouldn’t have mattered She just looked the other way With all of the ways out She just stayed

Well, I’m getting tired Of watching this movie The ending is always the same

And I’m getting weary Of feeling like this I did nothing to be so ashamed

I don’t understand What’s holding me here But this is not me It’s what I became

Won’t someone Please take Please take me home?

Year after year I lost self-respect Made up for it Drowning in prayer

All of my family Looked away, laughing Eventually They didn’t care

It didn’t matter I let them treat me that way With all of the ways out I just stayed

Oh, I gave them more Than I thought that I had Recklessly piling up debt

Then came the time When I called it all in And nothing was all I could get

Now I don’t remember What I was trying to do Or what I meant to forget

Won’t somebody Please come to me Please take me home?

I see it unravel, despite All the years of my loyalty A humble devotee, a soldier Who stood on the line

I never aspired to be taken As noble or royalty I did nothing to earn the disdain I’ve felt from them all of this time

Oh, now I resolve Let slip the bonds To handle the oars And to row

Out to a place On the edge of the world A place they said I couldn’t go

I know what matters I’m blessed with a gift One last chance To find what I missed

Oh, I let chances go One after another Waiting for something in vain

Now I can see They were messengers sent to me Lovingly to ease my pain

Will I get the chance To take it all back Knowing nothing is ever the same?

We live out our lives Collecting regrets until Nobody’s left here to blame

But for once in my life I can be so much more Than that person they think I became

Won’t somebody Please send me an angel Please take me home?
