I couldn't sleep Leaving took me by surprise and I couldn't let it all go Couldn't let it all just go So I turned my head Away from those thoughts And kept forever in the nighstand Put together all away I will never see you all again I will never feed my dog again I will never pet my cat again I will never miss you again So I took the first plane and I ran, ran away the farthest that I could from you Farthest that I could from my Own fears, but I'm down, down again On my knees, I don't know if I can make it back Ten thousand miles And I started to wonder If this is the life that I have chosen Despair in my mother's eyes Watching quietely as her son tries Now I see that I am ready I am ready I will make you proud I will make you proud I will make you proud I will make you proud
