You knock on my door today armed for the war with a smile
Your suitcase is full today, all of this street's in denial
Well that used to be me and I know how it feels
When you truly believe that the magic is real
(Sorry but I don't want it today)
All the worst things in my life come back to me when I see you
And I'm damned if I'll go back to the life that took them away,
No I'm never gonna change my mind
It took quite a while for me to realise that I'm happier this way
But then just as I started to think we'd be all right I heard them say "we're just following the rules, and the rules say goodbye"
But what about this family? does it mean nothing to you?
Because there's a rule that I live by
All the worst things in my life come back to me when I see you
And I'm damned if I'll go back to the life that took them away,
No I'm never gonna change my mind
There's nothing you can say
Through this hole in my heart now I see, that you do truly with your heart believe
That it's all for the best
But would it kill you to pick up the phone and give me hope that I've still got a home?
You owe me that much
