A man screams out at me from a painting
Somehow he seems to know my name
He's far away from all his family
It seems that he and I - we're just the same
Sometimes I learn from my mistakes
I do my best to try and make a change
Should have never let go
Should have never left home
Behind the smile there is a real pain
What has become can happen again
Should have never let go
Should have never left home - without you
The man in the painting started crying
Asked me to find his little girl
I tell him I too miss my family
They're dear to my heart - even though we are a thousand miles apart
Sometimes I learn from my mistakes
I do my best to try and make a change
Should have never let go
Should have never left home
Behind the smile there is a real pain
What has become can happen again
Should have never let go
Should have never left home - without you
