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
