Come Home
YAEL NAIM & David Donatien Lyrics

I’m flying far away to be really free
I am leaving to find my independence

tried hard to build myself independently
I worked hard to build a life on my own

it's hard to always do what you expect from me
I struggle to meet your expectations

saying come home
You ask me to come back home

i try to understand why it hurts you
I attempt to see things from your perspective

to see the difference in our points of view
To see that we have different opinions

don't blame me for a thing that I didn't do
Please don't hold me responsible for something I didn't do

it's insane
It's crazy

how feeling so much shame
Feeling guilty and ashamed

will only bring you pain
Will cause you more pain and suffering

and I no longer know how to explain
I'm at a loss for words

see i'm happy as can be
I am content and satisfied

and you're my family, my ground
You are my family and my foundation

and i'm just hoping one day i will find you
I hope to reconnect with you someday

you're holding back the tears when you kiss me
You hold back your tears when you kiss me goodbye

smile smile when i'm back again as you see me
You welcome me back with a smile on your face

when years are passing by and you miss me
As time goes by and you miss me more

such a shame
It's unfortunate

you're feeling so much blame
You feel guilty

and yet i'm still the same
I am still the same person

see i’m grateful as can be
I am very thankful

'cause you’re my family, i'm bound
Because you are my family, I am connected to you

and i'm just hoping one day you will shine through
I hope you will come around and understand my perspective

let's try to look at each other
Let's try to understand each other

find one another
Reconnect with each other

asking how can it be
Questioning our situation

fighting and loosing each other
Fighting and losing our connection

thinking the other
Assuming the other

is not so much like me
Is very different from me

finding out all that we see
Realizing that what we think we see

is just not always what is real
Is not always the truth

just come home
Please come back home

my turn to understand what you lived through
It's my turn to try and understand your experiences

today i only feel how i miss you
Today, all I feel is how much I miss you

so it's only fare, when it's hard to bare
It's only fair to come home, even if it's difficult

and you ask if i, i try to come home
And you ask if I will try to come home
