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

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
