He’ll Be Back Again

Written by Dale Schumaker

He walked out slow with a restless heart
Said he needed time; said we’d grown apart
Left me in pieces in the dark
With his echo in my arms

I heard her name in whispers late
Saw that look I knew too well on his face
He was chasing sparks he couldn’t keep
While I was losing sleep

He’ll be back again, I know the way it goes
When her goodbye cuts deeper than he shows
When the fire fades and the night gets cold
He’ll come knocking on the love he knows
Yeah, he’ll be back again with his worn-out lines
Saying I’m the one he should’ve held tight
But I’ve lived this hurt enough to know
He’ll be back again

Now it’s 2 a.m., my phone lights up
Same old story, same old luck
Says she left him like he left me
Now he finally sees

He swears he’s changed, he swears he’s sure
Says what we had was something pure
But I hear the truth behind his plea
It’s not about me

REPEAT CHORUS

You came back again, just like before
But I won’t open up that door
I found my strength in letting go
And I don’t need you anymore
No, you won’t be back again inside my life
I’ve healed the wounds you left behind
This is where I draw the end
You won’t be back again… goodbye.
