I know you love me
I can see it in the way you smile
   When I tell you I'm happy and content
I can feel it in the way you hold me
   Nuzzling the neck of your little spoon
I can hear it in your carefree laugh
   When I tell a joke no one else finds funny
I can smell it on your breath
   When I kiss you and inhale pheromones
I can taste it on your tongue
   Melting your sweet words over my heart

So why won't you come home?
The words "I need you"
   Have completely lost their meaning
And nothing I do tonight
   Could ever change your mind
I'm writhing in the pain of your absence
   But you think my pain is unbecoming
I know you think there's always tomorrow
   But baby what about tonight?
The words "come home"
   Fall on deaf ears
