[Verse 1]
Maybe I'm still hurting, I can't turn the other cheek
But you know that I still love you, it's just that I can't speak
I looked for you in everyone and they called me on that too
I lived alone but I was only coming back to you

[Verse 2]
They're shutting down the factory now, just when all the bills are due
And the fields, they're under lock and key though the rain and the sun come through
And springtime starts but then it stops in the name of something new
And all the senses rise against this coming back to you

[Bridge]
They're handing down my sentence now and I know what I must do
Another mile of silence while I'm coming back to you

[Verse 3]
There are many in your life and many still to be
And since you are a shining light, there's many that you'll see
But I have to deal with envy when you choose the precious few
Who left their pride on the other side of coming back to you
Go crazy

[Verse 4]
Even in your arms I know I'll never get it right
Even when you bend to give me comfort in the night
I've got to have your word on this or none of it is true
And all I've said was just instead of coming back to you
