I Meant to Tell You I'd Come Home

It's been a long time coming,
waiting for me to return
i'd been searching
for months, and i began to believe
i wouldn't ever return,
i started to lose all hope.

yet here i am
fighting again-
fighting for who i am
for what i believe and
everything i used to be

i once was running from everything i was
but now i want it all back
i want to be exactly what i hated then,
it's what i'm becoming
because it's what i miss and love

there's no need for fakes
there's no need to cover it up
it's who i am
it's what i believe
it's who i've missed
