When You Said You're Coming Home
Mathew V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No more time that's spent alone
When you said you'd make it clear
In my arms, you would be here
But you lied to me that night
and I can't stand to bear the sight
When I see you out with him
You were just another
One of a kind that stole my heart
I should've known from the start
Cause the way you made me feel, you blind me
Begging baby, why don't you stay? It's not okay
and I remember the day
When you said you're coming home
No more time that's spent alone
When you said you'd make it clear
In my arms, you would be here
But you lied to me that night
And I can't stand to bear the sight
When I see you out with him
Home is far from where you've been
When you said
When you said you're coming home x2
You were just another
Wink and a smile outside the bar
But here's what tore me apart
Was the way you made me feel like
I'm the only one you had in your plans
and I was scammed
And now I don't understand
When you said you're coming home
No more time that's spent alone
When you said you'd make it clear
In my arms, you would be here
But you lied to me that night
And I can't stand to bear the sight
When I see you out with him
Home is far from where
I, oh I tried to be
What you wanted from me
Oh no, and I, oh I tried to keep
Keep my hands and touch(??)
Before you run from me
When you said
When you said you're coming home x4
