Lyrics

Love of mine
I saw you standing in the doorway, shaking in the cold
Your eyes were screaming stories that you never told
You say you're fine, but your hands won't stop their trembling
And every night you're slipping further
I can feel you unraveling

Love of mine
You walk into the darkness like it's all you've ever known
Chasing down a comfort that has never made you whole
You swear you're in control, but I can see the truth
You're drowning in a world that's slowly
Stealing you

(Chorus)
Darling, don't go back tonight
I'm begging you, don't lose this fight
You're breaking piece by piece, you're skin and bone
Baby, come home
Baby, come home

Love of mine
You say the city loves you, but it only takes and takes
It feeds on every weakness, every wound, every mistake
I'm standing here with open arms, but you just turn away
Like you don't think you're worth the saving
But you are, you are, you are -- I swear you are today

(Bridge)
I've watched you fall to pieces
I've watched you try to rise
I've held you while you trembled
And wiped the fear from your eyes
If you could see the person
I see when you're with me
You'd know you're not the shadow
That the night says you should be

(Chorus)
Darling, don't go back tonight
I'm begging you, don't lose this fight
You're breaking piece by piece, you're skin and bone
Baby, come home
Baby, come home

Love of mine
If you hear me calling through the rain, don't turn away
I'll wait here in the doorway till the night becomes the day
And if you find the strength to take just one step toward the light
I'll take the other thousand
Just to pull you back tonight
