If you're standing with your suitcase But you can't step on the train Everything's the way that you left it I still haven't slept yet And if you're covering your face now But you just can't hide the pain Still setting two plates on the counter but eating without you If the truth is you're a liar Then just say that you're okay I'm sleeping on your side of the bed Goin' out of my head now And if you're out there tryna move on But something pulls you back again I'm sitting here tryna persuade you like you're in the same room And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder And I wish you could still give me a hard time And I wish I could still wish it was over But even if wishing is a waste of time Even if I never cross your mind I'll leave the door on the latch If you ever come back, if you ever come back There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat If you ever come back There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on And it will be just like you were never gone There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat If you ever come back, if you ever come back now Oh if you ever come back, if you ever come back Now they say I'm wasting my time 'Cause you're never comin' home But they used to say the world was flat But how wrong was that now? And by leavin' my door open I'm riskin' everything I own There's nothing I can lose in a break-in that you haven't taken And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder And I wish you can still give me a hard time And I wish I could still wish it was over But even if wishing is a waste of time Even if I never cross your mind I'll leave the door on the latch If you ever come back, if you ever come back There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat If you ever come back There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on And it will be just like you were never gone There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat If you ever come back, if you ever come back now Oh, if you ever come back, if you ever come back If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss I know you're out there somewhere so just remember this If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss Oh just remember this, oh just remember this I'll leave the door on the latch If you ever come back, if you ever come back There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat If you ever come back There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on And it will be just like you were never gone There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat If you ever come back, if you ever come back now Oh, if you ever come back, if you ever come back And it will be just like you were never gone And it will be just like you were never gone And it will be just like you were never gone If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
