Lyrics
[Verse]
He left us in the dust, the golden child so free,
Mama cried herself to sleep, Daddy cursed the empty seat.
I stayed behind, held the weight, tried to keep it all aligned,
Thought I'd earned my place here, thought this home was mine.
[Verse 2]
I worked the fields, mended fences, kept the family whole,
Learned to carry burdens that were heavier than my soul.
Every room held echoes of the brother I outshined,
But I stayed, I stayed, thinking this place was mine.
[Chorus]
But he came back like a storm, after all these years,
With his golden smile, he washed away my tears.
And Mama ran to him, like he'd never crossed that line,
I stood in the shadow, of the place I thought was mine.
[Verse 3]
He spoke of city lights, the roads he'd walked alone,
While I counted every season, building roots into the stone.
I thought they'd see my sacrifice, but love ain't always kind,
I stayed to earn their hearts, but this place was never mine.
[Bridge]
I can't blame him for coming home, or the way their faces shine,
But the years I gave, the tears I saved, they don't rewind.
I’m still the girl who stayed behind, while he left to chase the skies,
But I guess I was just keeping warm the place I thought was mine.
[Chorus]
He came back like a storm, after all these years,
With his golden smile, he washed away my tears.
And Mama ran to him, like he'd never crossed that line,
I stood in the shadow, of the place I thought was mine.
