When I said I'm leaving
I never meant to say I'm leaving you
I know I promised that I would never hurt you
And I don't intend to

But I'm doing all I can just to make a change
My soul wasn't born to stay
That's why I'm leaving all my love and my heart behind
For you to hold on while I'm so far away
And while I'm not home, just leave the light on
Just in case I make it home
Home today

Though my heart's not changing
This world won't let loose of me to get to you
No one said it's easy
And tomorrow may not hold just what you want

But I'm doing all I can just to make a change
My soul wasn't born to stay

That's why I'm leaving all my love and my heart behind
For you to hold on while I'm so far away
And while I'm not home, just leave the light on
Just in case I make it home...

Home to the place where I know you'll be there
Is the light still shining
I'm sending this to let you know that I still care
And I won't stop fighting
But if I don't make it back, just know I left all of my heart behind
For you to hold on while I'm so far away...

Just know I left all my heart behind for you to hold on
While I'm so far away
And if I'm not home
Just leave the light on
Just in case I make it home
Home today
