Memphis May Fire Follow

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 dream
I know they say that no one is perfect
But I swear she's perfect for me
And that makes it so much harder to leave

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

If 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 me
For 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
