i've left this place many times before
but tonight
tonight's the first i meant goodbye
because this town i grew up in
these streets that i know
they are paved with my failures
and the seeds that i've sewn
i know
i wont get another try to make things right

all my life i've searched for something to make me whole again
the perfect words i've found are better left unsaid

i've driven this road many times before
but tonight
tonights the first i know inside
that the towns i've not been to
the streets i don't know
hold my hopes and my somedays
as my story unfolds
i know
i've lost so much to live this life
but i'll be alright

all my life i've searched for something to make me whole again
the perfect words i've found are better left unsaid
and all my life i've had that something to make me whole again
been through it all to find it's in me in the end

i still go back to the day and i think about
how you came in my life and saved me from myself
you have all you had and all you didn't
i wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for all our years
and it's clear
i could have died without you
you loved me when i couldn't love myself

you're the dream i can't replace
but some wrongs just can't be erases
it's been brighter since the dawn
one look back i'm moving on
i finally see the light it won't be long
but i had to live every word of this song

all my life i've searched for something to make me whole again
the perfect words i've found are better left unsaid
and all my life i've had that something to make me whole again
been through it all to find it's in me in the end
