Lyrics
Never Really Made It Home (Duet)
Verse 1 (Male Part)
I look into your eyes, but baby all I see,
Are the smoke filled desert skies, and haunted memories,
You could never understand, these images are real,
Of a lost and distance land, a sandbox battlefield,
Maybe only time can heal...
Chorus (Female Part)
You came back, into my arms, with a shattered broken heart,
Just the shadow of the man, I've always known,
It's as if that man of my dreams, unafraid of anything,
Never really made it home, never really made it home,
Verse 2 (Male Part)
I lie here by your side, you know I'm not asleep,
These battlescars I hide are a million miles too deep,
There's nothing you can say, there's nothing you can do,
I'm praying for the day, when I can be with you,
And I pray I'll make it through,
Chorus (female part)
You came back, into my arms, with a shattered broken heart,
Just the shadow of the man, I've always known,
It's as if that man of my dreams, unafraid of anything,
Never really made it home, never really made it home,
Baby will come back home, (FEMALE)
Honey I'm comin come. (Male)
