i've left this place many times before  but tonight  tonight's the first i meant goodbye  because this town i grew up in  these streets that i know  they are paved with my failures  and the seeds that i've sewn  i know  i wont get another try to make things right    all my life i've searched for something to make me whole again  the perfect words i've found are better left unsaid    i've driven this road many times before  but tonight  tonights the first i know inside  that the towns i've not been to  the streets i don't know  hold my hopes and my somedays  as my story unfolds  i know  i've lost so much to live this life  but i'll be alright    all my life i've searched for something to make me whole again  the perfect words i've found are better left unsaid  and all my life i've had that something to make me whole again  been through it all to find it's in me in the end    i still go back to the day and i think about  how you came in my life and saved me from myself  you have all you had and all you didn't  i wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for all our years  and it's clear  i could have died without you  you loved me when i couldn't love myself    you're the dream i can't replace  but some wrongs just can't be erases  it's been brighter since the dawn  one look back i'm moving on  i finally see the light it won't be long  but i had to live every word of this song    all my life i've searched for something to make me whole again  the perfect words i've found are better left unsaid  and all my life i've had that something to make me whole again  been through it all to find it's in me in the end
