Never Coming Home

I turned on the front porch lights tonight

Around the time when you should be home

But then at midnight, I turned them off again

Knowing that you wouldn't come back home

I played your favourite tunes on the old piano

I sang mindlessly the song you loved the most

I wished for you to walk in and sing with me

Then I realized your favourite song has changed

I sat on the balcony to watch the sunset alone

I waited for you to come and watch it with me

But when the sun was long gone I went inside

I convinced myself that you didn't care anymore

I came back home and walked into the kitchen

Pictured you cooking food with a beautiful smile

But then I settled on the chair with a wine bottle

I finally knew you were never coming home now

I lit up your favourite candle inside our bedroom

I lay on the bed hoping to picture you beside me

But our last argument was all I could remember

Then I knew it was my fault you were not in there

Maybe I loved you more than you could love me

Maybe you loved me too much to be hurt by me

I gave you my baggage but refused to take yours

And maybe that's why you had to walk miles away
