Come Tenderness
Lisa Gerrard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spending all my nights, all my money going out of the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes and I"m back where I started again
Trying to forget you is just a waste of time
Baby, come back
Any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby, come back
You can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can't live without you
All day long wearing a mask of false bravado
Trying to keep up a smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here
Baby, come back
Any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby, come back
You can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can't live without you
Now, that I've pulled it up all together
Give me the chance to make you see
Have you used up all the love in your heart
Is there nothing left for me, is there nothing left for me?
Baby, come back
Any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby, come back
You can blame it all on me

Overall Meaning

The person has tried everything they can think of to forget about their former lover but has found that it's impossible to do so. They spend their nights and all their money going out, but nothing seems to work. The person tries to put on a brave face during the day but as the night approaches they feel empty again, wishing their partner would return. They acknowledge that they were wrong and they take the blame for the relationship falling apart. They desperately want their partner to come back and they are willing to accept responsibility for what went wrong in the past. They ask if there is any love left in their partner's heart for them.


The lyrics are touching because they convey the pain of heartbreak and the difficulty of letting go of a lost love. The person is willing to accept blame and willing to do what it takes to make things right, but they need their partner to come back to them. The song is a reminder of how hard it can be to move on from a relationship and how important it is to take responsibility for our mistakes.

You don’t need to know the words. That doesn’t matter. What matters is what you feel when you hear this.
