Please don't come home

I used to smile at the sound of your key
Even the silence felt kind to me
I loved the way your shadow filled the room
Even when the night was dressed in gloom

I even loved that cigarette smoke
The way it lingered like an old soft joke
The crooked smile when you lost your tone
Made me feel like I was never alone

I miss the chaos, I miss the song
The broken laughter when the nights were long
I miss the glass that slipped from your hand
But tonight, babe please don't come home

I loved the stumble after too much wine
The way you whispered that you were mine
The mess you made, the fights we chose
Even the thorn felt close to the rose

I miss the chaos, I miss the song
The broken laughter when the nights were long
I miss the glass that slipped from your hand
But tonight, babe please don't come home

Love was tender, but love grew cold
Stories fade when the nights get old
I keep your ghost, I drink it slow
Some memories stay, some have to go

I miss the chaos, I miss the song
The broken laughter when the nights were long
I miss the glass that slipped from your hand
But tonight, babe please don't come home

I miss the chaos, I miss the song
The broken laughter when the nights were long
I miss the glass that slipped from your hand
But tonight, babe please don't come home
