Wake up on your couch, the TV still on
That purple city looks so pretty
'Til I realize I've gotta go home
Peel myself off you, and the fog dissipates
And I start to remember we won't be together
And all of the sudden I'm the worst state
I've been denied and I've been shamed
You're the one person who's ever listened
The only one who's made me feel safe
Face to face
With the pain
I don't wanna go
Please don't take me home
And you say, "it's gonna be okay"
I don't wanna go
Please don't take me home
Reliving the hard past is why it's distressing and so depressing
Bringing back memories of hearts made of steel
Sob on the drive back, missing what I've lacked
'Cause I'm always alone when it's crowded at home
And I go through again what I went through before
Face to face
With the pain
I don't wanna go
Please don't take me home
And he says, "it's never been that way"
I don't wanna go
Please don't take me home
Used to cope in dangerous ways
Now when I want to, all I see is your face
For both our sakes, I hope I can stay strong
With the pain
I don't wanna go
Please don't take me home
And I say, "it's never gonna change"
I don't wanna go
Please don't take me home
And you say, "it's gonna be okay"
I don't wanna go
Please don't take me home
