I didn’t ever ask for this
And maybe we should have asked you more
But when you asked if that’s all
I should have gone for the door
You say that love is pure and that
this is all we’ve got
With a graveyard’s dirt on my hands
I promise you it’s not
Don’t take me home to nothing
Don’t take me to a dead heart on the floor
Don’t take me home to nothing
Don’t bring me home for nothing
I tried to keep the promises
That no one ever said
I tried to save the one
You delivered to me dead
And a lifetime of my fault
You told us lies and
You’d smile through the fights
And when nighttime came
You turned out all the lights
I didn’t love enough it was my fault
Don’t take me home to nothing
Don’t take me to a dead heart on the floor
Don’t take me home to nothing
Don’t bring me home for nothing
You can hit me
I won’t hit back
Wrap your hands and choke me
Say I deserve that
But when you say I have to love you
I won’t believe that
I won’t believe that.
Don’t take me home to nothing
Don’t take me to a dead heart on the floor
Don’t take me home to nothing
Don’t bring me home for nothing
