lyrics

MY WHOLE WORLD’S BEEN SO BLUE
SINCE YOU LEFT SO LONG AGO
THE WAY THAT I WILL MISS YOU
IT’S ALL MY FAULT YOU’LL NEVER KNOW

I CAN STILL SMELL YOU ON MY PILLOW
YOUR HEAD HASN’T RESTED THERE FOR SO LONG
RATHER BE BLIND THAN SEE YOU GO
AND DUMB SO I CAN’T SAY THAT YOU’RE GONE

I TRULY LOVED YOU WOMAN
NOW I GOT SO MUCH TO FORGET
CAUSE I KNOW YOU AIN’T COMIN HOME BABY
IF YOU AIN’T BEEN HOME YET

THINK ABOUT MY HANDS ON YOUR BODY
YOUR SKIN SOFT AND WHITE AS MILK
HAIR FLOWING DOWN TO YOUR SHOULDERS
SOFTER THAN SATIN OR SILK

YOU HAD A LOT TO OFFER
IT WAS SO MUCH FOR ME TO WASTE
YOU LAID IT ALL ACROSS THE TABLE
AND I GAVE EVERYTHING A TASTE

I TRULY LOVED YOU WOMAN
NOW I GOT SO MUCH TO FORGET
CAUSE I KNOW YOU AIN’T COMIN HOME, BABY
IF YOU AIN’T BEEN HOME YET

YOU WRAPPED ME IN YOUR LIES
TOLD ME SWEET THINGS TO EASE MY MIND
SAY YOU NEVER MEANT TO HURT ME
GIRL, YOU NEVER WERE THAT KIND

YOUR LOVE FOR ME WAS A HABIT
AND I WAS NESTED IN YOUR HEART
YOU KNOW I’VE NEVER BEEN A QUITTER BABE
BUT I GUESS NOW’S THE TIME TO START

I TRULY LOVED YOU WOMAN
NOW I GOT SO MUCH TO FORGET
CAUSE I KNOW YOU AIN’T COMIN HOME, BABY
IF YOU AIN’T BEEN HOME YET

I CAN LIVE WITHOUT YOU
IT’S NOT A CHOICE I’D WANT TO MAKE
THOUGHT HEAVEN SENT ME DOWN AN ANGEL
BUT INSTEAD I GOT A SNAKE

I THOUGHT WE HAD A LOT TO GIVE
BUT WHAT WE GAVE WAS NOT ENOUGH
COME BACK HOME TO ME BABY
YOU LEFT BEHIND A LOT OF LOVE

I TRULY LOVED YOU WOMAN
NOW I HAVE SO MUCH TO FORGET
CAUSE I KNOW YOU AIN’T COMIN HOME, BABY
IF YOU AIN’T BEEN HOME YET
