  • I got lost out there in this world
    Looking for a brand new way to fall down
    It's no surprise that things gotten worse
    And I thank God you never let me drown

    But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long
    I didn't have to let myself get so far gone
    I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone
    I didn't have to die to go to heaven
    I just had to go home

    While I was having the time of my life
    I think my soul died a little every day
    I always called to say I'm sorry
    You said it's okay
    But you should be through it all
    You never walked away

    But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long
    I didn't have to let myself get so far gone
    I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone
    I didn't have to die to go to heaven
    I just had to go home

    Into the arms of my angel
    Into the peace I left behind
    All I had to do to save my own life
    Was to look into your eyes

    But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long
    I didn't have to let myself get so far gone
    I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone
    I didn't have to die to go to heaven (to find my angel)

    But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long
    I just had to go home (I just had to go home)
    I just had to go home Writer/s: Bradley Kirk Arnold, Christopher Lee Henderson, Matthew Darrick Roberts, Zachary David Maloy

  • Rob D from Pacifica CaI love this song! To me, its a realization that Jesus was always with you, you just need to surrender; when you do, no matter how far you stray, he’s just a prayer away!
