In Return Lyrics

The two storey house where we started again

With the flakey white paint on the garage door

Trying to skate in the driveway

On a hand me down skateboard

I left my skin on the asphalt

The closest to pain that I'd felt

Too young to know what lonely was

Just you and three kids

In an empty fucking house

I never noticed, I never saw the pain

When fourteen years meant shit that day

It never mattered so much to me

It never changed a thing



The tests came in, you were sick

But its not like I didn't care

I just couldn't hear it

A wheelchair could never take my mum

If I just ignored it

You said we'd never have it differently

From the kids that were given everything

So instead I'd throw it in your face

The thought of letting someone in



Mum, now that I've been in love myself

I can't imagine how it felt

To be told that you could never love another man

Not like you had it easy

Not like you came out even

It's not like I could ask for any more

Than you'd already given

And it makes me sick

The bad luck had nothing to do with it

Just the heartless human beings

That you called your family



Apologise

You'll never get those years back

But you smiled through all of it

Apologise

You'll never get those years back

But you smiled through all of it

Now that I've been in love myself

I can't imagine how it felt

To be told that you could

Never love another man



And I know

Even after everything I've done

All I ever had to do was call

But I've lost sleep over the

Thought of forgiveness
