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

rate me

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?
