Artist: Brandi Carlile Album: Bear Creek (2012) Title: What Did I Ever Come Here For
Lyrics What Did I Ever Come Here ForI've been gone for so long and how I've 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 returned, 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 What did I ever come here for
I thought if I showed up in the night, in my best disguise There at your doorway and your porchlight, That you would look into my eyes And you would realize who I am, put your arms around me You're going to love me so much more, than you ever did before What did I ever come here for 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 two 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 turned me away like before But you closed the door anyway What did I ever come here for What did I ever come here for What did I ever come here for What did I ever come here for |
