In my blind romantic eye
I made a simple supposition
To go away and come one day
Pick it up right where we left off
I was wrong and you went along
Smiling and waving as the bus pulled out of town
It was my mistake to make you wait
And now I know I'll be lucky if you even want me to come back
Well don't talk crazy I couldn't bear saying goodbye
All I did was wish that you wouldn't die
Just come back to me with that same look
Just come back to me baby with that same look in your eye
You make it seem like you always knew
Had a premonition like I never do
Now I'm flat out in a hospital bed
Staring at the ceiling fan spinning slowly over my head
I don't want to hear you say I'm a hero
‘Cause honest to God I was just trying to get out of the way
They gave me Purple Heart, but honey I don't want it
Maybe we'd both be better off if I just came home in a box
Well don't talk crazy and please don't make me
More afraid than I already am
Not for myself, it's you, I'm fine
I'm fine as long as I know I'll be seeing you soon
Yea maybe I feel the same way
But all this time, and now I'm
I'm just a part of what I was
I wanted to carry my daughter upstairs to bed at night
Are they right, it's a sacrifice
It's all yours, not mine
And you're there but I'm here
You got everything and baby all I got to offer is me
Well don't talk crazy about how it's gonna be
Baby you are never far away from me
Maybe things are different, but nothing's changed
Just come home to me baby, please come home
