I got home from work early Put the dinner on the stove Longing for the “I love you’s” You’d whisper when we were alone I yearn for the yesterdays When I was your prize You’d walk me around With your big dreams in your eyes With a big house and a family A family with three kids You’d always take care of me Promised all the love you could give These bruises get easier to hide They barely even enter my mind But the way you look at me And the sound of your voice Rips me apart Leaves me feeling cold and alone Even when you’re by my side I caught myself thinking today About the first time I really cried You made me feel like nothing at all When you laughed at what I said It’s always the same old fight I guess you got tired of pointing out my flaws You said you’d had enough of this To find my own way home I remember that long walk home Convinced myself it wouldn’t happen again Hoping each set of headlights were yours You haven’t come for me yet These bruises get easier to hide They barely even enter my mind But the way you look at me And the sound of your voice Rips me apart Leaves me feeling cold and alone Even when you’re by my side I woke up tonight in the dark You’re lying there next to me I’ll get up and do it all again I won’t feel anything anymore These bruises get easier to hide They barely even enter my mind But the way you look at me And the sound of your voice Rips me apart Leaves me feeling cold and alone Even when you’re by my side
