The Girl That I Call Home

You dipped your toe into the water
But you never thought an ordinary life
Could cut you like a knife
You’re everything I ever wanted
But a man would rather writhe upon a cross
Than ever feel the loss

Please don’t worry
I’m not sorry
Not for a life that I can’t own
I’ll seek forgiveness
Will I need a witness
Or the girl that I call home?

You get to walk among the flowers
I’m a man who tries to hide away his scars
Beyond the sea of stars
You seem to find a higher power
And when part of me is darker than the night
You fill the void with light

Please don’t worry
I’m not sorry
For a life that can’t be known
Princes adore you
They cower before you
You’re the girl that I call home

Please don’t worry
I’m not sorry
Not for a life that I can’t own
I’ll seek forgiveness
Will I need a witness
Or the girl that I call home?
Please don’t worry
I’m not sorry
For a life that can’t be known
Princes adore you
They cower before you
You’re the girl that I call home
