Never home to fulfill her needs
Distance feeds anxiety
Another town I cry and hug my knees
The distance grows
I want to come back home

Another day away another fight you face alone
I'm gone! I'm gone
I'd like to save you from the pain, a thousand miles away
I'm gone! I'm gone

Mother's due for deadly news
(Is it over?)
Another night, medication and tubes
(Is it over?)
I wish I'd never seen cancer
I'd die just to find that answer
(Is it over?)
The distance grows
Her heartbeat's slow

Another day away another fight you face alone
I'm gone! I'm gone
I'd like to save you from the pain, a thousand miles away
I'm gone! I'm gone

I watch you crumble, I watch you fall
The weight of the world it took it all
I remember you fight, I remember why
I'll never give in till it's time

So here's to the life and here's to the loving
You showed me to be and now I'm becoming
You may have never known how much you changed me
But I tell you this
The world will soon see!

(Gone!)
(Gone!)
(Gone!)

Another day away another fight you face alone
I'm gone! I'm gone
I'd like to save you from the pain, a thousand miles away
I'm gone! (I'm gone)

(Gone!)
(Gone!)
(Gone!)
