Come Back Home
December 13, 2001
Copyright 2001 Doug Pretorius

Changing everything between us
is not what I thought we'd do
between me and you I thought we were cool
sure an arguement or two, but not to make a fuss

Now things I've relied on are slipping away
maybe they were never even really there
I fell upon my reflection the other day
and I couldn't help but stare
Looking into my eyes, trying to find a why
Searching for meaning and hope
finding nothing but soap, nothing to fill the hole

So here I stand alone
clinching my fists, trying to resist
to feel
it's all so unreal
a separation anxiety reel
as I wait by the phone
hoping you'll come back home

lonliness is never a good feeling, it seems no one is there for you, but just wait, soon there will be, i am sure!

You've written pain and sadness well. It's hard to face the mirror and look for answers that just aren't there.
