How Have You Been

I swear I thought it wouldn’t be so hard
To leave the place I’ve called home for so many years
All the memories I left behind
On a daily basis try to bring me tears

But I need to stop pretending
I am strong
The position I am standing
Is vulnerable
I could use a little hand here
I’ve been hiding for too long

Driving from the passenger seat
I truly believe
I have made the right call
I should be asking ‘How have you been? ’
But I need you to see
I am missing you all
Too much to keep in touch

It feels so empty since we’ve been apart
No more late nights
No more drinking on the streets

I keep telling myself life is better here
I wish it wasn’t true
I wish I could be there with you

And I need to stop pretending
I am strong
The position I am standing
Is vulnerable
I could use a little hand here
I’ve been hiding for too long

Driving from the passenger seat
I truly believe
I have made the right call
I should be asking ‘How have you been? ’
But I need you to see
I am missing you all
Too much to keep in touch

Don’t know if I’ll be back
But I’ll call you every now and then
Sorry if it seems like I have changed
I'm still the same

Driving from the passenger seat
I truly believe
I have made the right call
I should be asking ‘How have you been? ’
But I need you to see
I am missing you all
Too much to keep in touch
