It wouldn't be a vacation if I didn't miss somebody back at home It wouldn't be a vacation if I didn't feel like I was all alone But I always feel alone When I am not at home I don't want you to know That I'm lonely It wouldn't be a vacation in the sun Without missing everyone Who doesn't care that you're not there It wouldn't be a vacation all year long Without feeling something's wrong With the paradise you found But when you call me and tell me about your newfound friends It's hard to think about ever coming home again It wouldn't be a vacation if I didn't miss somebody back at home It wouldn't be a vacation if I didn't feel like I was all alone But I always feel alone When I am not at home I don't want you to know That I'm lonely I wouldn't be a vacation without you So where have you gone to? I think I lost you on the way It wouldn't be a vacation without love So who are you thinking of? I have a feeling it's not me You never said you'd forget me the second that I left Why do I pay every time I try to catch my breath? It wouldn't be a vacation if I didn't miss somebody back at home It wouldn't be a vacation if I didn't feel like I was all alone But I always feel alone When I am not at home I don't want you to know That I'm lonely So I guess you always will
