Darling Come Back Home
[Verse 1]
This is a heart
That used to feel the joy of waking
I was thankful for each flower, every tree
These are eyes that used to see each new day breakin'
And believe it was a gift from God to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I have felt these things inside with you by my side
Since you've gone and left me, everything beautiful has died
[Chorus]
Come back home
Oh baby, come back home
Everything that I've been living for is gone, is gone
Darling, won't you come back home
I don't know, I don't know
[Verse 2]
I don't know what I did to make you leave, girl
I've relived every moment, every single word I've said
If you love someone more than me
(If you really love him) He's a thief
He's taken happiness, left me emptiness instead
[Chorus]
Come back home, come on
Oh baby, come back home
Every, everything that I've been living for is gone, is gone
Darling, won't you come back home
I don't know, I don't know what I'm gonna do, yeah
[Bridge]
Come back
Come back
Hey, hey
Come back
Hey, hey
[Verse 3]
I'm no poet, no philosopher of logic
I can hardly make my feelings conversation, oh no
'Cause you control my thoughts and my body
Pain, pain of losing you makes livin', livin' hard to do
[Chorus]
Come back home
Oh, oh, oh baby, you got to come back home
Every, everything that I've been living for is gone, gone
Darling, won't you please come back home
[Outro]
Please, I want you, I want you
(Come back home) Come back home
(Oh baby, come back home) Come back home
Don't leave me by myself alone
Darling, won't you come back home
Hey, hey, come back home
You got to, oh, you got to
(Oh baby, come back home)
You gotta come on, hey, hey, hey, hey
Darling, just don't leave me here by myself
