Images of Home

I thought I left it all behind
Trapped in thought and state of mind
But as I stand here all alone
Plagued by images of home

Looking back I stood my ground
Making promises lost but never found
And as I call you to my side
To help me set aside my pride

It isn't easy
To ask you to free me
It's hard to stay this strong
It isn't easy
Knowing you need me
To stay where I don't belong

Shattered glass now makes the frame
It's not enough to hear you call my name
To stay or remain? It hurts just the same
My heart is still my own

A different world on either side
To swallow love or swallow pride?
One heart in pain, the other in vain
Where will I ever thrive?

It isn't easy
To ask you to free me
It's hard to stay this strong
It isn't easy
Knowing you need me
To stay where I don't belong
