lyrics

Here for six years then one day you’re gone
Disappeared into someone else’s arms
Like a boat drifted too far from the shore
You said that you weren’t in love with me anymore

So I sleep on the couch every night
The empty space in our bed just doesn’t feel right
That’s where you’re supposed to be
What’s happening to me

The life we built quietly fell apart
You kept secrets in your heart
Like a beggar I got down on my knees
And pleaded with you “baby don’t leave, please”

You said no
I’ve got to go
I’m leaving you joe
I don’t want to be your partner in this life any more

So I sleep on the couch every night
I let the cushions and the pillows hold me tight
They won’t let go of me
Until I fall asleep

I had to face myself
Trapped alone inside my mind, a living hell
Meanwhile you, you appear happy and free
You posted pictures of the two of you for everyone to see

So I sleep on the couch every night
The empty space in our bed still doesn’t feel right
That’s where you were supposed to be
But now I can clearly see
That you’re never coming home to me

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen. ... more
