lyrics

I gave it all away, oh so gladly
But the price we had to pay
But my eyes were wide and my hands were tied
I’d come to find the stories lied
And the fire that burns, oh burns inside
Doesn’t keep you warm at night

Why didn’t you tell me
I’m not coming home
In the stories they’d sell me
I didn’t end up alone
Was is so bad, was it so wrong
Just to want something else of my own
Why didn’t you tell me
I’m not coming home

Pride pushed me out the door
And pride kept me away
I’d heard it all before, oh I’d hear it when they say
You’ve got that spark, kid, and you’d hate to see that die
Then I look around and the green’s turned brown
And the fire, it’s burned what’s dry

Why didn’t you tell me
I’m not coming home
In the stories they’d sell me
I didn’t end up alone
Was is so bad, was it so wrong
Just to want something else of my own
Why didn’t you tell me
I’m not coming home

And I gave it all away

Why didn’t you tell me

Why didn’t you tell me
Did you tell me
Did you tell me
