I left my mother's arms
Hopin' another's would be just as warm
Now I'm not hot, but ice cold
Maybe I chose the wrong time to hope
(If I had known I would take it all back)
Followed the siren's call
Hopin' another's song would be just as sweet
(Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me)
Now all I taste are bitters
Maybe I chose the wrong time to hope (Maybe I wasn't following hope)
(If I had known, I'd have gone home)
I left my father's eyes (Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me)
Hoping another would help me see
(And I'll try and I'll try and I'll try to come home)
Now it's all black, now I'm blind
Maybe I wasn't following hope (Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me)
Maybe I wasn't following hope
Maybe I wasn't following
(If I had known that I'd take it all back, and held my mother close)
(If I had have known that I'd take it all back)
(To keep the sirens at bay)
(If I had known that I'd take it all back, and held my father close)
(If I had known that I'd take it all back, I'd have gone home)
Maybe I wasn't following hope
(And I'll try and I'll try and I'll try to come home)
Maybe I wasn't following hope
(And I'll try and I'll try and I'll try to come home)
