I'm Coming Home
Sara Em Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You never knew, never understood
Just why I left
And I couldn't find the right words to
Tell you then

That I longed to feel the peace in being me
I heard you tried to make me wanna stay
And you said I love you
Just come on home to me
And I'll hold you
I'm coming home
I know that it's hard now
Just come on home to me
And I'll love you

I don't know when the fire in my life
Went out
I drifted then and I was watching time
Just pass me by

And I longed to feel the peace in being me
I heard you tried to make me wanna stay

And you said I love you...

I know I did you wrong
But I had to walk away

And you said I love you...





I'm coming, I'm coming

And I couldn't find the right words to
I struggled to articulate

Was extinguished

Merely passed me by without my notice


But I had to walk away
However, I had to depart


And you said I love you...
You expressed your love...


I'm coming, I'm coming
I am arriving shortly

Unironically saying “you guys are killing me right now “ during your homicide Interrogation is an almost impressive level of self awareness

floridasoldat

Lmfao seriously

Lucie Nelson

Did you mean “lack” of self-awareness. Narcissism personified

Austin Parker

What blows my mind is I've seen people say the exact same thing several times watching these types of videos

Karl Vassar-Booth

@Lucie Nelson he didn’t mean it was a high level. Just an impressive level lmao

Dewi Lew

@Lucie Nelson “zero” is a level, after all.

“I’m blaming it on the wine” is an insane thing to say when confronted with murder accusations

Joy Ramos Pacilan
