Westlife · Greatest Hits [2011]

Shane:

Hey...

What's your name?

Do you live around here?

Don't I know your face?

You say, "I've been a stranger

For too long"

I didn't even notice I was gone

And I wanna come back home



All (Shane in lead):

Show me the way to make a start

Show me the road back to your heart

And I've learned the only truth that I need to know

There's a million places I can go

But without you it ain't home

It ain't home



Bryan:

Please say...

What I need to hear you say

Say, "I'm thoughtless and foolish"

But say, "it's not too late"

Now I don't know exactly

Where we go from here

But trying is the only way to know

And I wanna come back home



All (Shane in lead):

Show me the way to make a start

Show me the road back to your heart

And I've learned the only truth that I need to know

There's a million places I can go

But without you it ain't



Bryan:

It ain't always

Please believe me

Don't give up

Cos we're half way there

We're at the crossroads

In the middle

Between hope

And between dispair

All I need is

Some direction

Let me know you're here for me

Where you are

Is where I'll be



All (Shane in lead):

Show me the way to make a start, oh

Show me the road back to your heart

And I've learned the only truth that I need to know

There's a million places I can go

But without you it ain't



Show me the way to make a start

Show me the road back to your heart

And I've learned the only truth that I need to know

There's a million places I can go

But without you it ain't home



Shane:

It ain't home
