Heartache Hangover

My head is pounding the whole night plays back in rewind
I can hardly comprehend feeling fine
This heartache hangs over every moment I'm awake
As you approach I see you notice my decline
You ask me, "Why did you run away?
Been friends forever, don't hide from me"

I don't know
That's why I've come back home
It's the only place where I can face the worst of what's inside
I suppose
I feel accountable
'Cause the problems that I ran away from haunt me every night

You tell me that you think you know the reason why
I left without saying goodbye
"Was it the way it went with Mel?"
The truth is I can hardly stomach how I left from her
I took the easy out
It wasn't easier for everyone
"Have you seen her? Is she okay?"
You say, "Is guilt the only thing that fuels your curiosity?"

I don't know
That's why I've come back home
It's the only place where I can face the worst of what's inside
I suppose
I feel accountable
'Cause the problems that I ran away from haunt me every night

"I think it's best you let her go
She's never been the same you know
I think it's time for you to go
There's so much more you left behind
Your mom and sister come to mind
You know they miss you
I know you miss them
Don't you?"
