It’s a trial and a test every time you show your face
Every action a chance to catch a fault
And for all the years you’ve spent in trying,
No approval ever seems to come from this life of pain
This blackness in your heart, this house that’s not a home
Searching for an exit, hoping for a savior
But not the one that you’ve been taught to know
You know that there’s a better way
And yet you try to hide, to run away

Well you can’t beat the world if you’re scared to face it head on
You’ll never be alone no matter how you hide
You need to face your fears if you’re ever going to move on
The love is still alive in the life you left behind

You won’t break free by chasing a hope in vain
You’ll never reach the end of the hopeless quest you’ve started
There’s still an answer to your pain
For now you know there is

Still love in the life you left
Please come home
Still waiting with open arms
Won’t you come home?

And once again you turn your gaze
To the world, to the streets
Once again you’re left feeling empty
This time, no love is left to catch your fall, your pain
This darkness in your soul left turning to sadness
When your options crumble before you
Don’t you wind up asking yourself,
“Am I free?”
“Or is this a dream?”
Don’t you end up hurting yourself
When all you do is run away?

You can’t beat the world if you’re scared to face it head on
You’ll never be alone no matter how you hide
You need to face your fears if you’re ever going to move on
The love is still alive in the life you left behind

You won’t break free
You won’t break free
There’s still a way
For you know there always is

Still love in the life you left
Please come home
Still waiting with open arms
Won’t you come home?

There is a better way
There is a better way
There is a better way to escape the pain
There will always be love left to fall back on
You know that there’s still love in the life you left behind
You know there is

Still love in the life you left
Please come home
Still waiting with open arms
Won’t you come home?
