(Verse 1) You say you love me, but the fire's gone Nineteen years on a scale, weighin' what was wrong I see you workin' that quiet calculus And I'm afraid of the answer you're discussin' us (Verse 2) I know I vanished, I was a ghost inside my head Just a cold space in our warm, familiar bed When you reached for me, I was a million miles away I let the best of us quietly fade to gray (Chorus) And for that man I was, I hold a heavy hate My deepest shame is the pain on your plate But I'm standin' here, swearin' I'm awake So let me prove this love's not a mistake Don't let the past write the end in stone Darlin', please, just let me be your home Oh, let me be your home again. (Verse 3) I left you lonely with my silent, selfish pride Every unanswered question that you cried I built a wall when you needed open hands I didn't meet your most sincere demands (Chorus) And for that man I was, I hold a heavy hate My deepest shame is the pain on your plate But I'm standin' here, swearin' I'm awake So let me prove this love's not a mistake Don't let the past write the end in stone Darlin', please, just let me be your home Oh, let me be your home again. (Bridge) I'm not that shadow anymore, I'm flesh and blood and bone I finally see the garden that I left to overgrow Every "I'm sorry" ain't enough, I know that's true So let my actions build a future here with you. (Final Chorus - More powerful, raw vocals) And for that man I was, I hold a heavy HATE! My deepest shame… is the pain on your plate! But I'm standin' here, SWEARIN' I'M AWAKE! So let me prove this love's not a mistake! Don't you let the past decide our story's end! My love… my life… please… let me be your home! Oh, let me be your home… (Outro) Let me be your home again… Yeah, I’m awake again… Just let me be your home…
