[Verse 1]
I watched your coat by the door
Like a storm I couldn't keep
You said my name like a prayer
I was too scared to believe
I had your hands in my hands
Still I felt them slip away
Like I was holding a flame
With nothing left to save
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore my shame like a ring
I wore my heart too small
You gave me all of your sun
And I still feared the fall
[Chorus]
Let me go, but don't forget me
I loved you more than I could say
Let me go, but don't you hate me
I was the one who pulled away
You moved on, and I still want you
Like the sea wants the rain
Come back home, come back home
If you can still find me again
[Verse 2]
Now your shadow's in the room
In the crack of every door
I hear your laugh in the wind
Like you live here anymore
And I know you built a life
With a heart I couldn't hold
I was a locked-up house
While you were brave and bold
[Pre-Chorus]
I said I wasn't enough
I made your love sound cruel
But the truth is I was young
And I was lost, not cool
[Chorus]
Let me go, but don't forget me
I loved you more than I could say
Let me go, but don't you hate me
I was the one who pulled away
You moved on, and I still want you
Like the sea wants the rain
Come back home, come back home
If you can still find me again
[Bridge]
If you knock, I might answer
Though I don't know what to do
I've been living with the echo
Of the girl who ran from you
Take this hurt and leave me standing
Or take me back the way I am
'Cause I'm still yours in the dark
Even now, even then
[Final Chorus]
Let me go, but don't forget me
I loved you more than I could say
Let me go, but don't you hate me
I was the one who pulled away
You moved on, and I still want you
Like the sea wants the rain
Come back home, come back home
If you can still find me again
Come back home, come back home
I am yours, if you'll still stay
