I don’t know where I’m going

I don’t care where you’ve been.

I’m just trying to find my home and

I know that I want to win.

You’re so far away from me.

I can barely see you’re face

But I know I’ve landed

Somewhere right in the middle of your space.

I’m not going to try to find

A way for you to change your mind

Love is gone but here I stand

A broken down, homeless man.

I don’t know where you come from

But I hope you ain’t going back.

‘Cause at night when I’m sleeping alone

That’s when the dreams start to attack.

I’m tired of them talking.

I’m tired of them telling me those lies.

‘Cause all the truth I need, I see in

I see in those eyes.

I remember what you said to me

Oh, that night on the lake.

And you’re not going to tell me

That what you said was a mistake.

I don’t know when you’re going

So I don’t know when I can leave

Oh, girl can’t you see

You’re the only thing that I need.

Please don’t tell me

No, don’t tell me

That you just changed your mind.
