  • I think I've already lost you
    I think you're already gone
    I think I'm finally scared now
    You think I'm weak, I think you're wrong
    I think you're already leaving
    Feels like your hand is on the door
    I thought this place was an empire
    Now I'm relaxed, I can't be sure

    And I think you're so mean
    I think we should try
    I think I could need this in my life and
    I think I'm scared
    I think too much
    I know it's wrong, it's a problem I'm dealing

    If you're gone, maybe it's time to come home
    There's an awful lot of breathing room
    But I can hardly move
    If you're gone, baby you need to come home, come home
    There's a little bit of something me
    In everything in you

    I bet you're hard to get over
    I bet the room just won't shine
    I bet my hands I can stay here
    And I bet you need more than you mind

    And I think you're so mean
    I think we should try
    I think I could need this in my life
    I think I'm just scared that I know too much
    I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling

    If you're gone, maybe it's time to come home
    There's an awful lot of breathing room
    But I can hardly move
    If you're gone, baby you need to come home, come home
    There's a little bit of something me
    In everything in you

    I think you're so mean
    I think we should try
    I think I could need this in my life and
    I think I'm scared
    Do I talk too much?
    I know it's wrong, it's a problem I'm dealing

    If you're gone, maybe it's time to come home
    There's an awful lot of breathing room
    But I can hardly move
    If you're gone
    Hell baby, you need to come home, come home
    There's a little bit of something me
    In everything in you (you)
    (Something in me)
    (Everything in you)
    (Something in me)
    In you Writer/s: Robert Thomas

  • Hope from Nythis song is helping me a ton as an adult. My best friend randomly stop talking to me. No fight nothing. It breaks my soul & cant stop thinking about it but its helpful to have my feelings written out
  • India Nelson from Cavalier, North DakotaI just lov. I worked at the International Border and cleared alit of musical ge this song, the lyrics intrigue me. I don't remember this song the year it was released. Our son Chris was in the Marine Corp which was harder on us than on him and our other son Michael was still reeling from the murder of his Aunt several years earlier. When they started to settle down we did. Still enjoy your music
  • Scott from Brisbane, AustraliaThis is my favorite Matchbox Twenty song.
  • Martin from Fresno, CaIt is a reminder to put your family first no matter what your career is.
  • J.r. from Crowville, WaHeard this song in college. I played it a lot when I broke up with my then girlfriend. I really have mixed emotions whenever this song comes on.
