No Homecoming

You can keep your distance

and I'll pretend that i don't mind

mumble your words slowly so that I can't understand

and we'll let the sadness in



it's hard to think how you must have felt that day

when you rolled over and said

"He's not coming home tonight"

And it's always my last call



but my eyes get blurry anyway

when you tell me how it hurts

Oh girl you know you break my heart

look on the brighter side of things
