Come Home
Lost in Regret: Postcards For Sympathy's Heart-Wrenching Tale
Lyrics
You said you weren't happy, too late for beginnings
You admitted unhappiness, but it's too late for a fresh start
When you walked out, you blamed it on the bills
Blaming the breakup on financial issues
Why won'y you own up? Made her look
Questioning why you won't take responsibility, causing her embarrassment
You want the cable off your back
Desiring to rid yourself of burdens, like cable on your back
You have a son that's looking back
Having a son who is observing the situation
He wants a goodbye, he's like a catcher in the rye
Comparing your son to a "catcher in the rye" seeking a farewell
But now you have to face the woman fighting those tears in her eyes
Facing the emotional struggle of the woman you left behind
She'll cry them off at night
She cries herself to sleep at night
Why won't you come home now?
Questioning why you won't return home
Why won't you come home now?
Repeating the plea for you to come back
The table's all gone, the bedroom's not yours
Listing the absence of familiar items, indicating your departure
Nothing in your name, disappointment in your face
Expressing disappointment evident in your face and absence from belongings
And she thinks it doesn't bother you, but it's true
Speculating that she thinks your departure doesn't affect you
You left behind a son who used to look up to you
Leaving behind a son who once admired you
But now his brother's hitting him down with your truth
His brother now influencing him negatively with your truths
Money comes and goes, you figure it out
Recognizing the transient nature of money but criticizing your escape
But it's your easy way out
Condemning your choice as an easy way out
Why won't you come home now?
Repeated plea for your return home
Why won't you come home now?
Reiterating the unanswered question of why you won't come back
Why won't you come home now?
Continuing to question your absence
Why won't you come home now?
Persisting in asking why you won't return
Why won't you come home now?
Repeating the plea for you to come back
Why won't you come home now?
Continuing to question why you won't return home
