Remember me
A face you used to see
Not the same song that I used to be
I had their words passing through me
But I just can’t find the rhymes
I’ve been every place but right so many times

When will I come home to you
Whenever you want me to
It’s a cold and lonely world
When you’re not loving me

Your world is my only one
I’m back where I started from
There’s no place that I would rather be

Remember me
The girl who thought that she
Could get lost in unreality
I’ve been around up and down
I’ve never missed a single rhyme
I’ve been everything there is but satisfied

When will I come home to you
Whenever you want me to
It’s a cold and lonely world
When you’re not loving me

Your world is my only one
I’m back where I started from
There’s no place that I would rather be

When will I come home to you
Whenever you want me to
It’s a cold and lonely world
When you’re not loving me

Your world is my only one
I’m back where I started from
There’s no place that I would rather be

When will I come home to you
Whenever you want me to
It’s a cold and lonely world
When you’re not loving me

Your world is my only one
I’m back where I started from
