Lyrics

The night that you left
And scared me to death
Not knowing where you were
Honestly thought you were dead
Then you walk back in late
Not saying a word
You just look at me as if you'd done something wrong
I asked what did you do
You said you hurt yourself, it was nothing new
I put my arms out and you fell right into them
I asked why did you do that
You said you lost your worth and you felt the need to
You said "you know I love you
Didn't do this to hurt you
I just lost my way
And went to something I knew wouldn't help
But it gives me a different satisfaction that nothing else could allow
I'm really sorry I just couldn't help myself"
The night that I left
I scared myself to death
Knew I shouldn't do what I started to
Before I went home
Looked for an apothecary
Didn't get to our front door until early hours of the morning
You were sitting up
I didn't say a word
I just gave you a look as tears filled up my eyes
You asked what did you do
I said I hurt myself, it was nothing new
You put your arms out and I fell right into them
You asked why did you do that
I said I lost my worth and I felt the need to
But you know I love you
Didn't do this to hurt you
I just lost my way
And went to something (somewhere) I knew wouldn't help
But it gives me a different satisfaction that nothing else could allow
I'm really sorry I just couldn't help myself
