Far From Home
Lake Blake Lyrics

I know I'm miles away
I am physically distant and disconnected from my surroundings.

And far from home
I feel emotionally detached and isolated.

But don't you worry about a thing
Please don't be concerned or anxious.

I'm getting grown
I am maturing and developing as an individual.

Had some trouble
I have faced difficulties and challenges.

Along the way
Throughout my journey.

My girl is gone
I have lost my romantic partner.

But mama I'm the same
Mother, I am still fundamentally unchanged.

Just on my own
I am now independent and self-reliant.

And some friends ain't have my back
Certain friends have betrayed my trust and abandoned me.

That trust was stolen
They have taken advantage of my trust.

But they can't have my brain
They cannot control or manipulate my thoughts.

That thing is golden
My mind is valuable and precious.

Still dodging the attacks
I am constantly evading and defending against harmful actions.

My back is scalded
I have endured emotional pain and betrayal.

Believe me when I say
Please trust and have faith in my words.

There's things you owe me
There are obligations or debts you have towards me.

And I still try to pray
I continue to seek solace and guidance through prayer.

When I get lonely
During times of isolation and solitude.

But father I must say
Father, I need to express.

I'm far from holy
I am far from being morally pure or righteous.

I know people can relate
I understand that others can empathize with my experiences.

That's great you told me
I appreciate you sharing your understanding with me.

But don't you ever say
However, never claim.

You think you know me
To understand me completely.

Don't you hate it when they say
Don't you dislike it when others claim.

They think they know you?
To understand your true self?

And I've been miles away
I have been distanced, physically or emotionally.

I'm far from home
I am emotionally detached and distant from my roots.

And have I told you by the way
Moreover, have I mentioned.

My brain is gone
I feel mentally lost or confused.

But don't you worry about a thing
Please do not concern yourself.

I'm getting grown
I am maturing and evolving.

Said don't you worry about a thing
Reiterating, please do not worry.

My pain is gone
I have moved past my previous suffering.

I still don't know how to act
I am still unsure of how to behave.

I get so nervous
I experience anxiety and unease.

Then take it out on girls who don't deserve it
As a result, I unintentionally direct my frustration towards innocent women.

She said 'Blake I love the way you make my world spin
A woman expressed her affection for the excitement I bring into her life.

But baby you don't know the way you hurt me'
However, my actions cause her emotional pain and distress.

I wish we could double back
I desire to return to a previous point in our relationship.

It hurts I know
I understand and acknowledge the pain.

Away to simpler days like where'd they go?
Back to the days when life was less complicated, but they have disappeared.

And I know you loved the way I made you float
I am aware of how I brought joy and happiness to her life.

But don't you hate the way they say they know
However, isn't it frustrating when they claim to understand.

I fucking hate the way they say they know me
I strongly despise when they assert knowledge about my true self.

So hold me close and never stray
Please embrace me tightly and remain devoted.

I'm hanging on
I am desperately clinging to something.

By a thread
By a very thin connection or hope.

I think my dreams are nearly gone
I believe my aspirations and desires are fading away.

I don't know which way they went
I am unsure of the direction my dreams have taken.

This road is dark
The path I am on is uncertain and full of obstacles.

So father show me with your light
I seek guidance and enlightenment from a higher power.

I know I'm lost
I am aware that I am without direction or purpose.
