I pack my bags and say goodbye to my wife for what seems like the millionth time
They said it gets easier, but they lied
She looks at me and says,
"Really, baby, I will be just fine"
But then she looks away, so I don't have to see her cry
And that is when I ask myself:How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be
When I feel so alone, 'cause I left my heart at home?She needs me, but I know they need me too
So, God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do
Really, I'm so thankful for the people I meet, the places I've been and the things I've seen
But when she's not here, it doesn't feel like I'm living my dreamI know they say that no one is perfect, but I swear she's perfect for me
And that makes it so much harder to leaveHow am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I feel so alone, 'cause I left my heart at home?
She needs me, but I know they need me too
So, God, give me the strength to do what you created me to doIf you miss me, I'm just a phone call away
Please be strong, be strong for me
I need you to show me how to change the inside of meFor my heart, for their sake,
Be strong, be strong for me
How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I feel so alone, so alone?How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I feel so alone, 'cause I left my heart at home?
She needs me, but I know they need me too
So, God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do
