Brandi Carlile - What Did I Ever Come Here For? lyrics

I've been gone for so long And how I missed you My heart was aching for home And then one night as I lay down Somewhere far from you I dreamt that I heard you call my name But my mind was playing games I knew right then that I'd return To where I was before And I was so tired of being away That I just couldn't stay anymore What did I ever come here for? Oh no no no no no What did I ever come here for? I thought if I showed up in the night In my best disguise There at your doorway in your porch light That you would look into my eyes And you would realize who I am Put your arms around me You gonna love me so much more Than you ever did before What did I ever come here for? Oh no no no no no What did I ever come here for? It wasn't too long before I showed up at your door I'd been gone a thousand miles I didn't know how much more I could stand If I could stand at all You said I looked like I'd been through World War II And my soul was worn right through I thought you would read my mind I thought you'd ask me to stay You'd never turn me away like before But you closed your door anyway What did I ever come here for? Oh no no no no no What did I ever come here for? Oh no no no no no What did I ever come here for? Oh no no no no no What did I ever come here for?
