"Pack your bags, time to leave now...goodbye."
That's all you hear
Were there more words?
You can't be sure
Seem to have fallen on deaf ears
You couldn't stay there
Without a hope, without one prayer
Now your asking me if I can take you in
And so it begins
Your worst days, the heartache, all the pain-
It goes away
Don't be afraid
You'll be okay
You can't fix those past mistakes
You can come here
To this weekend house
Bringing these questions on yourself
In this trade, the winds change faster than anything you could say
But in your case, draw those shades
Know that your world isn't grey
You can stay here
Find what's more important now
You're so much greater than you tell yourself
When love came, the heartache and the heartbreak and the pain-
It went away
