I'm standing on the borderline

What should I bring or leave behind

I still haven't packed my bags

But that's based more on fear than on fact

I'm standing on the borderline

I'm a shadow of the past

The shadow of a boy

A boy who couldn't last

And I keep hoping they won't see how much I have

A feeling's not a thing you own

I just want to be home

'Cause home's where the heart is

And when I departed
C G
I might've abandoned them both

I won't go back
