I was so careless, I left you all alone
When I was running in the streets and carrying on
You were so patient, you never said a word
You tried to hide all your tears and bury the hurtI was such a fool, I didn't figure it out
Till I came home last night to an empty houseI didn't know it was this lonely alone
I didn't know the nights could be so long
When someone you need so desperately is goneI didn't know how bad the hurt could be
It took you walking out to make me see
Baby, please come home
I didn't know it was this lonely alone
It's only midnight but baby with you gone
It's forever since sundown and forever till dawn
And as I lie here looking at myself
It's hitting me hard how you must have feltI'm sorry, I hurt you and I'm sorry, you cried
And I'd give anything if I could hold you tonightI didn't know it was this lonely alone
I didn't know the nights could be so long
When someone you need so desperately is goneI didn't know how bad the hurt could be
It took you walking out to make me see
Baby, please come home
I didn't know it was this lonely aloneI didn't know it was this lonely alone
I didn't know the nights could be so long
Baby, please come home
I didn't know it was this lonely alone
I didn't know it was this lonely alone
I didn't know the nights could be so long
Baby, please come home
I didn't know it was this lonely alone
