You moved back to a place you never knew
Has anywhere ever really felt like a home to you
Because I know it's hard
Leaving all these cities with new scars
And your body's a map of every choice you've made that lead you here

And you don't have to write those letters
I can read it on your face
You're feeling lonely and broken and out of place
And you won't have to run forever
Maybe the next town's the one
Where you'll settle down and find the thing you love
And that will be enough for you

Where's the shame (I read the books you told me to)
Where's the guilt, the excuse and the blame (And I've got to be honest)
For all that you've gone through (There were a couple of things in there I think you knew)
And maybe the next time you meet someone (Would cut to the heart of me)
Don't tell them about that winter where you gave up (Would cut to the very part of me that missed you)
Where you gave up

And you don't have to write those letters
I can read it on your face
You're feeling lonely and broken and out of place
And you won't have to run forever
Maybe the next town's the one
Where you'll settle down and find the thing you love
And that will be enough for you

I know you've been treated bad in the past
You're so ragged and tough
You're so battered and old
Before your time
Before your time runs out
Know that you're better than that

You're better than that

And you don't have to write those letters
I can read it on your face
You're feeling lonely and broken and out of place
And you won't have to run forever
Maybe the next town's the one
Where you'll settle down and find the thing you love
And that will be enough for you
