Lyrics
VERSE 1
Come back in, it's rainin'
Just leave your suitcase there by the door
You know you've got no plan and it's late
No place to go and at least here it's warm
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow
No, I won't beg you to stay
'Cause what good are words like sorry
When a heart's been broken anyway
CHORUS
You were, I was
We were wrong
But our pride and who's right
Was just too strong
And with each angry word
That bridge just kept on burnin'
(Tag: Add to chorus final time)
Burnin' down
VERSE 2
No, I can still hear the thunder
That's a mean one ragin' outside
But there's no storm can compare
To the pain that's there in your eyes
I didn't mean to hurt you
That's what I swore I'd never do
But I guess somewhere along the way
We forgot how much we had to lose
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Every picture on these walls
Means a memory that we've made
So after all this time and through all these years
How can we throw it all away?
VERSE 3
Please, won't you wait, just stay tonight
Still pourin' down and it's not safe to drive
I'll wish you well come morning light
But I'm sorry, I won't say goodbye
No, I'm not trying to change your mind
Probably wouldn't if I could
But you know that I still love you
And I'll pray for the day when you're back for good
Chorus x2
