You can turn back the tide Of the cold tears from your eyes The pangs of wounded pride you hold me Did someone do you wrong, yeah Good lovin's as good as gone, yeah Maybe you ain't as strong as you wanna be It's alright if you don't wanna go home It's alright if you don't wanna be alone It's alright if you don't wanna go home I understand, I understand, I understand Nothin' stays if it's gotta go now You can't get water from a stone now Sometimes you gotta think about the things you're gonna love You can point the finger at him You can say you're sufferin' for a sin Somehow a never was never was yet enough It's alright if you don't wanna go home It's alright if you don't wanna be alone It's alright if you don't wanna go home I understand, I understand, I understand When the morning comes you get yourself together To face another day When the day is done and you ain't feelin' good You come walkin' my way Now that you're doin' alright You're pretty much outta sight I don't hear you knockin' 'round my door anymore I'm glad to hear you're doin' well But I know that time will tell Only when you're broken down, is that what friends are for? It's alright if you just wanna go home It's alright if you just wanna be alone It's alright if you just wanna go home I understand, I understand, I understand
