I'm Not Coming Home Lyrics

When you refuse me you confuse me
What makes you think I’ll let you in, again
Think again my friend
Go on misuse me and abuse me
I’ll come out stronger in the end
Does it make you sad, to find yourself alone
Does it make you mad, to find that I have grown
You do not know how much this hurts me
To say these things I don’t want to say but have to say them anyway
I would do anything to end your suffering
But you would rather walk away

Does it make you sad, to find yourself alone
Does it make you mad, to find that I have grown
I bet it hurts so bad to see the strain that I have shown
When you answer the door pick up the phone
You won’t find me cause I’m not coming home

Does it make you sad, to find yourself alone
Does it make you mad, to find that I have grown
Does it make you sad, to find yourself alone
Does it make you mad, to see how I have grown
I bet it hurts so bad, to see the strain I have shown
When you answer the door pick up the phone
You won’t find me cause I’m not coming home

When you answer the door pick up the phone
You won’t find me cause I’m not coming home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Not really. I think they're better now, they sound grown up, like big boy music.

Totally. Back when they were KF, they were innocent, their songs weren't about sex. Now they are, but that doesn't mean they're not still good. They haven't sold out. They've just improved.
