Lyrics The Pretenders

The Pretenders

The Homecoming

I fell by the way

The reason you haven't heard from me

Just didn't want to tell you

Or see me this way

Having fun with someone

Circumstance, who would've guessed

Force my hand when I was homeless

He just, he wouldn't understand

If you saw me

Holding his hand

I fell from your grace

The reason you haven't seen me here

I just, I didn't want to tell you to your face

But I left clues you couldn't refuse

Obvious, you're friends would see

I knew you'd get the word eventually

I'd rather have them tell you

It's just as well

The picture's gone

I fell while you were away

You leave a woman at home

Anyone will tell you

She's gonna stay

I confessed

You know the rest

Promises you never kept

Where were you baby

You overslept

When you hear that prison bell, think of me

You're not the only one
