Dreamt of you, my dear
Never seen anything crystal clear
Feels kind of weird, it’s not a want but a need, please come home to me
Oh, how I wish you were here
Been at a loss
Tried and I’ve tried to take it to the cross
Losing my mind ever since the day that you’d gone away
Your love was the only real cost that I had to pay
And if this is what I called home
Why do I feel out of place?
Whoever told ya I’m better alone
Well, they lied to your face
I’ve become a stranger to myself
I could really use some help
To get you back, I’d do whatever it takes
Till then, I’ll feel out of place
I’ve lost track of time
Tossing and turning when I sleep at night
‘Cause my spirits still yearning for the love I once felt when you were all that I held
Now I’m holding back tears, trying not to cry
I was out of line
Made an empty promise, I apologize
If I’m being honest, I’d do all I can for a second chance
Oh, darling, could you give me one more try?
And if this is what I called home
Why do I feel out of place?
Whoever told ya I’m better alone
Well, they lied to your face
I’ve become a stranger to myself
I could really use some help
To get you back, I’d do whatever it takes
Till then, I’ll feel out of place
‘Cause this house and my heart is empty and dark
And it’ll take more than just a single spark
To bring back my baby, the one I once knew
Till then, I’ll go crazy hoping she loves me too
And if this is what I called home
Why do I feel out of place?
Whoever told ya I’m better alone
Well, they lied to your face
I’ve become a stranger to myself
I could really use some help
To get you back, I’d do whatever it takes
Till then, I’ll feel out of place
Out of place
