I Can’t Come Home

 

I waited
For days, no weeks
Really it was months
With baited
Breath for you to say something
That I
Needed
But instead all I got was rain

And the rain fell hard and heavy
Feeling like my heart wasn’t ready
For all the fire that would consume me
Inside of you
Inside your heart
Where it somehow was cold
Despite
The house that we built up
And the walls that wouldn’t shut up
Even though you forced them all to
Shhh

So I waited
I thought that just maybe
There would be a sign or something
But lately
There was nothing in the wind
That I
Needed
And so all I got was rain

And the rain fell hard and heavy
Feeling like my heart wasn’t ready
For all the fire that would consume me
Inside of you
Inside your heart
Where it somehow was cold
Despite
The house that we built up
And the walls that wouldn’t shut up
Even though you forced them all to
Shhh

So I decided
I was done just waiting
I would have to
Just make my own way
Because there was nothing
Coming from the mouth of your heart
Nothing that was saying
I should stay

Maybe you don’t remember
All the times I waited
All the songs Id playback
While I waited for your love
Maybe you don’t remember
All the times I told you
I would always be here
But instead you dismembered
All the pieces of me

And the rain fell hard and heavy
Feeling like my heart wasn’t ready
For all the fire that would consume me
Inside of you
Inside your heart
Where it somehow was cold
Despite
The house that we built up
And the walls that wouldn’t shut up
Even though you forced them all to
Shhh

So the music fades and
My heart just aches
Everything does break
To pieces in the end
I’ll keep these secrets
Of the nights, the reasons
It had to end
