Jay Moussa-Mann - Traces (Little Deaths Hidden Track) Lyrics

She's standing in the doorway asking
"Can I come back home?"
The traces of another man
Still linger on her clothes
And he looks into her deep, dark eyes
His heart about to break
He says, "Come in, you were always worth the wait"

She walks into the living room
Gingerly this time
Oh it seems so many years ago
This room was their whole life
He reaches out to touch her hand
His heart about to break
He says, "My love, you were always worth the wait"

"I won't ask where you've been
Though we both know I know
I just want you safe home
And I won't ask you his name
Or the games you have played
I just want my sweet girl home
Safe home"

He hands her a brew and then
Stoops to fall a kiss
The traces of another man
Still linger on her lips
And he feels a sudden ache inside
Seeing her with another's love
But he just says
"I've missed you so much"

They walk into the bedroom
It seems a foreign land
He can see the marks had on her
By another's hand
And he reach out to pull her close
She can't look him in the eye
He says, "I'm yours if you still want to be mine"

"I won't ask where you've been
Though we both know I know
I just want you safe home
And I won't ask you his name
Or the games you have played
I just want my sweet girl home
Safe home"
