I pack my bags & 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

cause 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 & 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

cause 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 

cause 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
