Come Back Home

You left me in a blank space, surely I can't figure out the case. Odd thoughts make my body shake. My mind is turning into cold gray ash flakes. How could you leave me like this, without telling me...(what did I miss?) To escape the pretense of being fine, I shut myself inside four walls. I keep thinking about you all day and night, hoping and waiting for your call. Outside I'm all groomed but inside I'm utterly doomed. Amidst the crowd, I'm a lonely soul. My heart is burning into a dark black coal. How could you leave me like this, without telling me...(What did I miss?) To escape the pretense of being fine, I shut myself inside four walls. I keep thinking about you all day and night, hoping and waiting for your call. I can't get you out of my mind. There is nowhere peace for me to find. I can't imagine my life without you. Baby, please come back home and stop tormenting me. Baby, please come back home and turn my woe into glee. I can't imagine my life without you. We can forget and leave all this behind. Now I know, how love is blind. Baby, please come back home...
