I came to you undefended, you were most unimpressed,
there’s a fence that hasn’t mended since our sad little mess,
and it’s hard to go home when that’s not where you’re from,
in back of love lies regret, undefended..
I came to you as the ghost you pretend not to see,
& as for who lost the most, well we may never agree,
and it’s hard as a stone when your world comes undone,
in back of love lies regret, undefended..
there are holes in the air where your words used to be,
and it hardly seems fair, the way they both trouble me,
it’s a hard double knot in the hands of a child,
in back of love lies regret, undefended..
‘cause it’s hard to go home when that’s not where you’re from,
in back of love lies regret, undefended…
