Our love was volatile and weird
All I thought as I hopped the Grayhound was,
"Get me the fuck outa here"
I ran
I ran away from you
Packed my tears and all my fears
I had nothing better to do

Mommy,
Mommy, I know you know the truth
I'm sorry that you're heartbroken
Now, all I am is missing you
And, when I left
I dropped a trail of candy hearts,
hoping you would wait for me
I just want, to come home tonight
This is the story of my life

One week,
shouldn't have even been one day
I am calling from a payphone,
twenty three hundred miles away
Bad things I can not even say
If not for the kindess of strangers,
I would not be alive today

Mommy,
Mommy, I know you know the truth
I'm sorry that you're heartbroken
Now, all I am is missing you
And, when I left
I dropped a trail of candy hearts,
hoping you would search for me
I just want, to come home tonight
This is the story of my life
