Paper dolls and broken skin
Feels like these walls are caving in
As she watched the sun come up again this morning
Empty bottles down the hall
Love letters scribbled on the walls
And she can't seem to find the strength to smile
And it feels like everyday
Just gets harder to breathe inside this place
And..
(Chorus)
Won't you please come home to me?
I've been living with these old memories
And i just might have to burn this old house down
'Cause you ain't coming around.
So..lets get back to the way we were before
I stopped living on the day you slammed the door
Feelings take a lifetime to change
And i just can't wait anymore.
No..
Empty boxes on the floor
Lost feelings left outside the door
Searching for a way to make it right
A distant broken tangled mess
Scattered memories in her head
Still she can't seem to find the truth inside
It feels like one of these days
There's gonna be some way for me to find my place
(Chorus)
No..
Feelings take a lifetime to change
And i just can't wait alone.
Broken pictures on the floor
The echoes of our life before
She's got her head down screaming
(Chorus)
Won't you please come home to me?
I've been living with these old memories
And i just might have to burn this old house down
'Cause you ain't coming around.
So..lets get back to the way we were before
I stopped living on the day you slammed the door
Feelings take a lifetime to change
Will you take a lifetime to change?
'Cause I just can't wait anymore
No..
