I pack my bags
And say goodbye to my wife
For what seems like the millionth time

They said it gets easier,
But they lied
She looks at me & says
"really baby, I will be just fine,"
But then she looks away
So I don't have to see her cry
And that is when I ask myself;

How am I supposed to be
Everything they expect me to be
When I feel so alone,
Because I left my heart at home
She needs me,
But I know they need me too
So God,
Give me the strength
To do what you created me to do

Really I'm so thankful
For the people I meet,
The places I've been
And the things I've seen,
But when she's not here
It doesn't feel like I'm living my dream

I know they say that no one is perfect,
But I swear she's perfect for me
And that makes it so much harder to leave

How am I supposed to be
Everything they expect me to be
When I feel so alone,
Because I left my heart at home
She needs me,
But I know they need me too
So God,
Give me the strength to do what you created me to do

If you miss me,
I'm just a phone call away
Please be strong,
Be strong for me
I need you to show me how to change the inside of me
For my heart, for their sake Be strong,
Be strong for me!

How am I supposed to be
Everything they expect me to be
When I feel so alone,
So alone!
How am I supposed to be
Everything they expect me to be
When I feel so alone,
Because I left my heart at home
She needs me,
But I know they need me too
So God,
Give me the strength to do what you created me to do
