Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm leavin' again
What do you think
Did you even care?
I tried to be strong
But I wanna cry
So I hold you close
As I say good bye
I won't be with you tonight
When you close your eyes
And I feel so guilty
As I walk away from you again
You know that I want the best for you
And I hope that you're alright
If I had it my way
I could be with you tonight
I'm comin' home to you
I can finally see the light
And if I should make it through
I would be with you tonight
To have and to hold
Protect and provide
All that you need
I wont deny
And I need to see that smile on your face
The look in your eyes it takes me away
And I'm sorry I won't be with you tonight
But you're on my mind
And I feel so helpless
All I want is just to be with you again
You know that I want the best for you
Tonight I hope that you're alright
If I had it my way I could be with you tonight
I'm comin' home to you
I can finally see the light
And if I should make it through
I will be with you tonight
I've been away for so long
And it's been so hard on my own
I think about you every single day
I can't wait to come back home
You know that I want the best for you
And I hope that you're alright
If I had it my way I could be with you tonight
I'm comin' home to you
I can finally see the light
And if I should make it through
I would be with you tonight
I will be with you tonight

I'm sad when I'm gone
I feel sadness whenever I have to leave you
But I'm leavin' again
Despite my sadness, I must depart again
What do you think
Do you even care about me leaving?
Did you even care?
I wonder if you have any concern for my departure
I tried to be strong
I attempted to show resilience
But I wanna cry
I actually want to weep
So I hold you close
I embrace you dearly
As I say good bye
While I bid you farewell
And I'm sorry
I apologize
I won't be with you tonight
Unfortunately, I cannot be with you this evening
When you close your eyes
During your time of rest
And I feel so guilty
I experience a great deal of remorse
As I walk away from you again
Once again, I am departing from you
You know that I want the best for you
I have your best interests at heart
And I hope that you're alright
I hope that you are well
If I had it my way
In a perfect world
I could be with you tonight
I would be able to spend time with you this evening
I'm comin' home to you
I am journeying back to you
I can finally see the light
I am optimistic about what's to come
And if I should make it through
If I successfully overcome my struggles
I would be with you tonight
I will spend the evening with you
To have and to hold
I am committed to cherishing and supporting you
Protect and provide
I will ensure your safety and provide for your needs
All that you need
Everything you require
I wont deny
I won't refuse
And I need to see that smile on your face
I long to witness the joy on your countenance
The look in your eyes takes me away
The expression in your gaze transports me
But you're on my mind
I constantly think of you
And I feel so helpless
I feel powerless
All I want is just to be with you again
I simply yearn to be with you once more
I've been away for so long
I have been gone for an extensive period
And it's been so hard on my own
It has been burdensome to be by myself
I think about you every single day
I spend time considering you daily
I can't wait to come back home
I eagerly anticipate returning home to you
And I hope that you're alright
Once again, I wish for your well-being
I will be with you tonight
This evening, I will be present with you
