the Reunion

I went back to my hometown
To see who I still knew
I was so afraid of what they would think
When they’d seen what I turned into

I saw them laughing in the corner
I heard them talk behind my back
Then I shrugged it off and pretended it didn’t hurt
I swear I’m never going back
I know I’m never going back

I’d give all I got if I could just be
The man that I was till the end

I went back to my hometown
Did you think I was blind deaf and dumb
I’m not afraid of what you think
Now I know there’s no place like numb
