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
'Cuz 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
'Cuz 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
'Cuz 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
