The final embers of the fire have died And I should go before I start freezing You ask me to stay just a little while But I've got someone at home who's waiting
You hold me, oh so tight And I can feel your body start to shiver I ask you why you care so much When it's clear I don't care enough to leave her

"I've got a million reasons to go on home And there's nothing of value to come back for" The insincerity of it all Well, it makes us both succumb to laughter
"Go on back to your life," you say As you wipe the tears away with your hand It will all work itself out someday And I hope there's a part of you that understands
