Can't explain the way today just
fell apart like everything
Right in my face
And I try to be the one
I can't accept this all because of
you I've had to walk away
From everything
I'm afraid to be alone
Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone
I'm afraid to come back home
Hotel room my only friend and friends
like that just don't add up
To anything
And I try so hard to be
Everything that I could never take
away from you again
I heard you say
I live with regret
I live through this
I can't see through this
I can't do this anymore
This is the song for those who have ever runaway from home. How you struggle with the decision to be on your own, yet wanting to come back home.
This is an incredable song. This was the first song by Staind that I ever heard. What I hear when I listen to this song is his desperation to find a safe place. It talks about how he is so afraid and overwhelmed by everything that he is afraid to even come back home, in fear that everything around him is still going to attack him. There is no rest. It talks about how alone in the world he feels. Just listen to it.
This song is so amazing to me... It is by far Staind's best song. I agree as to the meaning with Maniac, but I wanted to add that he clearly blames someone.. He does that in a lot of songs that he writes to a "You"... It isn't done a lot and he does it INCREDIBLY effectively.
This is one of my favorite staind songs of all time. I think Maniac hit the meaning straight on
I love this song. Its powerful and sends a tingle up your spine. This was also the first Staind song that I had heard and it hooked me instantly
Congrats, Staind... You have reached Perfection. This is the greatsest recorded song EVER.
i agree with maniac but at the same time i agree with snarf skater cuz i 've ran away before and that was the song i listend to the most while i was away
this song is definitely one of stainds best songs. it is just so powerful. what more can i say except that i love this song...its perfect.
i agree with 4:20chick, its defintely one of their best songs. i heart all of their cds. they are definetly one kickass band, too.
oh yeh, and i can relate to it alot, on a personal level. you just feel...soo...understood when you listen to this song, if youve ever been in that sitchuation. where youve run away, and youre debating if you should come home or not. ive been there. its a hard choice, and kinda comforting to know somebody else has been there too.
