If you're standing with your suitcase
But you can't step on the train
Everything's the way that you left it I still haven't slept yet
"C'mon liam let's take you home. " I grabbed Liam's hand pulling him to the car once again I found Liam packed and ready to get on the train. But the thing is he never gets on, he stands there and then I come and take him to his house. I tell him our house is still the way it was when he left. It's also been 4 days since the breakup and I still haven't slepted.
And if you're covering your face now
But you just can't hide the pain
Still setting two plates on the counter but eating without 'cha
Even though Liam left I still set two plates for dinner. After I realized what I did I started to cry.
If the truth is you're a liar
When you say that you're okay
I'm sleepin on your side of the bed goin' out of my head now
When I ask Liam how he is, I know he's lying when he says he's fine. I know because I'm not okay either. I sleep on his side of our bed.
And if you're out there try'na move on
But somethin' pulls you back again
I'm sitting here try to persuade you like your in the same room
Liam tries to step on the train but every time the train comes he just stands there and let's the train past.
And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
And I wish you could still give me a hard time
And I wish I could still wish it was over
But even if wishing is a waste of time
Even if I never cross your mind
I wish I could just ignore him and stop checking on him. I wish he'd come home and yell at me for sulking.
I'll leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back if you ever come back
There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat
If you ever come back
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat
If you ever come back if you ever come back now
Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back now
I keep a key under my mat and my door unlock most of the time. Sometimes it's wide open because I'm waiting for him to come back. And once he comes it'll be like he never left.
Now they say I'm wasting my time
'Cause you're never comin home
But they used to say the world was flat but how wrong was that now
Louis says I'm wasting my time on Liam. Saying he's not coming back and how wrong I was about him wanting me still but remember when the say the earth was flat but they were wrong about that.
And by leavin' my door open
I'm risking everythin' I own
There's nothin' I can lose in a break-in that you haven't taken
I'm risking a break in since I just leave me door open but I don't care. I've lost the most important thing already.
If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
I know you're out there somewhere so just remember this
If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
Oh just remember this, oh just remember this
During our last talk before I hung up. I told Liam to remember what we had even our fights. I told to remember the way we cuddle and build a movie fort every Fridays and stuff like that.

And it will be just like you were never gone
And it will be just like you were never gone
And it will be just like you were never gone
If you ever come back if you ever come back now
When Liam walks through the door I'll greet him and we'll cuddle and I'll fix dinner at 9:00pm. And it'll be just like it always was once he comes home.
