The smell of cigarettes reminds you of your father
And the way that he made you laugh
Before I came around and that disease weakened his smile
He left you with records that spin in your room when you are sad
With every song, you are reminded that someone's watching you
And that you are loved[x6]
And I try to mend your heart with a needle and thread, shaky hands
And I tried to give you what you had when you began
You've been reading the same note I gave to you three years before
A girl left with a broken mind always waiting for more
And no one belongs here more than you[x4]
I'm taking a year off, I'm heading home
I've got no choice, I'm heading back to where I came from
And no one knows you like I do
And no one loves you like I do[x4]
