This isn't autobiographical, it's meant to be from the position of a wife whose husband is unfaithful/drinking and she keeps thinking how easier or kinder it would be if he just wouldn't come back, yet she knows if he calls,she'll forgive him and be back to where she was--worrying about him
lyrics
I saw your silhouette by the doorway
You kissed my head, “I love you” and “goodnight”
Where you go from here, babe, I’ve got a theory
Don’t tell me, it’s more than I can bear
Will you circle back or will you call me
Or are you nice enough to just stay gone
Will you walk it back or say I’m sorry
Or leave my heart intact and just move one
Just move on
Well, your mother called to hear my side of the story
As a sign of her support through the years
But your keys aren’t in the bowl, by the doorway
And I can’t hold you, babe, when you’re not here.
Will you circle back or will you call me
Or are you nice enough to just stay gone
Will you walk it back or say I’m sorry
Or leave my heart intact and just move one
Just move on
I am strong enough to take this on
Still I worry ‘bout the simple things
I hope that you stay warm
Father keep him safe now
