You can turn back the tide of the cold tears from your eyes,
The pangs of wounded pride if you hold me
Did someone do you wrong yeah,
Good lovin's good as gone
Maybe you ain't as strong as you wanna be

Chorus:
It's alright if you don't wanna go home
It's alright if you don't wanna be alone
It's alright if you don't wanna go home
I understand

Nothin' stays if it's gotta go now
You can't get water from a stone now
Sometimes you've got to think about
The things you're gonna love
You can point the finger at him
You can say you've suffered for your sins
Somehow it never was, never was good enough

Chorus

Bridge:
When the morning comes and you put yourself together
To face another day
And when the day is done and you ain't feelin' better
You come walkin' my way

Now that you're doing alright,
You're pretty much outta sight
I don't see you knockin' 'round my door anymore
I'm glad to hear you're doing well,
But I know that time will tell
Only when you're broken down, is that what friends are for?
It's alright if you just wanna go home
It's alright if you just wanna be alone
It's alright if you just wanna go home
I understand
