[Verse 1] It's not the leaving that was hard It was the coming back Same tired little town With its winding little streets Same old faces in the pub Same old news Same old views Nothing changed except me [Pre-Chorus] Coming home Should've felt like peace But the road behind me Is calling me to leave [Chorus] Coming home was the hardest thing Coming home was the hardest thing I don't fit in I don't belong I can't stay It all feels wrong Coming home was the hardest thing Coming home was the hardest thing [Verse 2] I stood by the corner shop Like I was ten again Felt every step I lost On the way back in They said, "You look the same" But they don't know I left one self behind And brought a different one home [Pre-Chorus] Coming home Should've felt like grace But every old memory Slid right off my face [Chorus] Coming home was the hardest thing Coming home was the hardest thing I don't fit in I don't belong I can't stay It all feels wrong Coming home was the hardest thing Coming home was the hardest thing [Bridge] Maybe I changed for good Maybe that's the cost Of learning how to leave And counting what I lost If this place still knows my name It doesn't know my scars I came back to where I started But I came back too far [Chorus] Coming home was the hardest thing Coming home was the hardest thing I don't fit in I don't belong I can't stay It all feels wrong Coming home was the hardest thing Coming home was the hardest thing
