[Verse 1: Gerard O'Connell]
Bottle tops, I've got enough to fill my pockets
So I've still got time for one more before we go
And if your touch is not enough to bring me home that's tragic
You know you'll be the first one when I'm alone
[Chorus: Mononoke]
And you won't tell me you love me
You don't have to hurt me
Don't know if you'll come home tonight
I know we can make it
I'll wait for your footsteps
I'll hold you till you feel alright
And then you'll tell me you love me
You don't mean to hurt me
You'll promise you'll come home tonight
I know we can make it
I'll wait for your footsteps
I'll hold you till you feel alright
[Verse 2: Gerard O'Connell]
Drown me out me girl I've no will, no fighting
And when you leave I guess there'll be the killer blow
Don't think me lost now you know I'm just hiding
You'll hear those words from someone you can call your own
[Chorus: Mononoke]
And you won't tell me you love me
You don't have to hurt me
Don't know if you'll come home tonight
I know we can make it
I'll wait for your footsteps
I'll hold you till you feel alright
And then you'll tell me you love me
You don't mean to hurt me
You'll promise you'll come home tonight
I know we can make it
I'll wait for your footsteps
I'll hold you till you feel alright
[Bridge: Gerard O'Connell & Mononoke, Both]
This madness makes no sense because you're all I've got
Promise you'll come home, can we make it?
Know that I should be right there
Is my love enough? I'm always waiting
This madness makes no sense because you're all I've got
Promise you'll come home, can we make it?
Know that I should be right there
Is my love enough?
[Chorus: Mononoke & Gerard O'Connell]
And you won't tell me you love me
You don't have to hurt me
Don't know if you'll come home tonight (Come home tonight)
I know we can make it
I'll wait for your footsteps
I'll hold you till you feel alright (Till you feel alright)
And then you'll tell me you love me
You don't mean to hurt me
You'll promise you’ll come home tonight (Come home tonight)
I know we can make it
I'll wait for your footsteps
I'll hold you til you feel alright
You feel alright
[Outro: Gerard O'Connell]
Love you more
Hurt you no more
Come home tonight
Making room
Footsteps will fall
You'll feel alright
Love you more
Hurt you no more
Come home tonight (Come home tonight)
Making room
Footsteps will fall
You'll feel alright
