Come Back To Me

You came home but

you’re not really here

Your body’s here

but your soul won’t stay

I call your name

it drifts through the air

But all I get is your blank stare

I reach for your hand

But it's clenched tight

Hard as stone

I whisper you’re here

but you’re not home

Come back to me

let the war go

Forget the battles

Don't look at the shadows

I just need you here again

Come back to me

come back my friend

Your boots are worn

your medals shine

But nothing can heal what’s trapped in your mind

The silence screams louder than words

I’m begging you

break through the hurt

I touch your face

but it feels so far away

Like I’m chasing a ghost in the dark

Come back to me

let the war go

Forget the battles

Don't look at the shadows

I just need you here again

Come back to me

come back my friend

The bombs are gone

The gunfire has ceased

You did nothing wrong

Be at peace

Some soldiers are gone

But many remain

You did your best

Now you can rest

Come back to me

let the war go

Forget the battles

Don't look at the shadows

I just need you here again

Come back to me

come back my friend
