Home is Where the Heart is

You're leavin,
runnin away.
Your heart is broken
or... so you say.

Been a long time now
Since you said you'd go.
But hey, who's countin?
I just want you to know

Home is where the heart is,
well, my heart is split in two.
Half of home is here
and half of it is you.
Home is where the heart is,
my heart is split in two.
Half of home is here
and half of it is you.

Been too many years now
since I last touched your face.
Been chasin after you,
but I can't win this race.

I know inside me
you'll come to your senses
and someday you'll see me
and I'll be the other side of the fence

Oh, home is where the heart is,
well, my heart is split in two.
Half of home is back there
and half of it is you.
Home is where the heart is,
my heart is split in two.
Half of home is here with me
and half of it is you.

Half of home is here with me...
Half of it's with you.

Author notes

A wonderful little country style song. Just under four mintes when sung with the instrumental break.

Please give a critical critique

    Very sweet and has a nice flow to go along with it. I wish I could here the music that goes with this. I think you can't really appreciate the full feeling of a song without having both the lyrics and the music. But from just the words I can get a decent amount. This is written well enough to have the good consistant rhythem that a song needs. I like the image of the heart as a home now divided. It really speaks to me and is easy to relate to in so many different ways
