You've Always Been Home

I've walked through cities, changed my name

Let go of dreams, survived the flame

But even when the world felt wrong

Your memory kept me holding on

We had our time, then drifted wide

Like waves that lost the same old tide

But still your voice, a gentle tone

Would pull me back to what I've known

You've always been home

Not made of walls, but warmth

That caught me when I'd fall

Three years apart, through nights alone

My heart would whisper, you're still home

No matter where I roam

You're still the place I'm from

I saw your face in strangers’ eyes

In passing trains, in midnight skies

And every time I turned to go

I hoped you'd feel me in your soul

They say we outgrow love like skin

But yours stayed soft and deep within

I tried to leave, I tried to roam

But even far, I knew my home

You've always been home

The truest part

The quiet room inside my heart

And if I never make it back

Please know you're still mine

No matter years, no matter roads

You've always been my home
