Son, I'll come back home Would you let your mother know? I'm sorry I left long ago I'm sorry I left long ago I've been trying to find my place Lost myself in many ways For a lie that came and took Me far away from you I left behind the ones I loved Followed the voice of anyone That fooled me in to believe That you're not all that I need! Son, I'll come back home Would you let your mother know? I'm sorry I left long ago I'm sorry I left long ago Son, I'll come back home Would you let your mother know? I'm sorry I left long ago I'm sorry I left long ago Her eyes, damn her eyes In them, I recognize All the pain and all the lies I gave her throughout our lives And if you see me once again Walk by me and don't look back I'm a man, I will deny All the wrongs I aim to hide! Son, I'll come back home Would you let your mother know? I'm sorry I left long ago I'm sorry I left long ago Son, I'll come back home Would you let your mother know? I'm sorry I left long ago I'm sorry I left long ago Son, I'll come back home Would you let your mother know? I'm sorry I left long ago I'm sorry I left long ago Son, I'll come back home Would you let your mother know? I'm sorry I left long ago I'm sorry I left long ago And in time I fade away Into lonesome nights and days Where I set myself ablaze Where I set myself ablaze
