Every time I come home
I feel as though I am not welcome
I'm tired of just hanging on
I want it all to be over
I can't be here without thinking of my lover

Should I shake your hand?
Should I shake my fist?
Can I break the circle,
Or will I simply break?

Every time I come home
I pray that God feels all alone
I can't remember the last time
I felt as though everything always works out

Nothing seems to help
Nothing does
Nothing can ease my self doubt

Should I shake your hand?
Should I shake my fist?
Can I break the circle,
Or will I simply break?

I'm tired of just hanging on, I want it all to be over
