I hear you're leaving town
And I am feeling down
You should know that nothing leaves my side
I'm gonna come round
I'm gonna shoot you down
You knocked my crown
Now you can go six feet underground.
Your lies have broke my life
Say goodbye my angel
I gave you all my love
To sleep alone my angel.
Hey Ho
Nobody knows you're not coming home
Hey Ho
Nobody knows you're not coming home.
Don't you take me here, { Don't you take me here, }
And don't you touch me there, { touch me there, }
I am digging your grave and you stay there
Can you see the light, { Can you see the light, }
And think you're still alive, { you're still alive, }
Believe me baby you won't come back again.
you won't come back again...
Your lies have broken my life
Say goodbye my angel
I gave you all my love
To sleep alone my angel.
Hey Ho
Nobody knows you're not coming home
Hey Ho
Nobody knows you're not coming home.
It didn't have to be this way
Playing games and lost one day
Have mercy on my lonely soul
It wasn't me it was you ya know.
Your lies have broken my life
Say goodbye my angel
I gave you all my love
To sleep alone my angel
Your lies have broken my life
Say goodbye my angel.
Hey Ho
Nobody knows you're not coming home
Hey Ho
Nobody knows you're not coming home.
Hey Ho
Nobody knows you're not coming home.
Hey Ho
Nobody knows you're not coming home.

The song blends gritty rock instrumentation with folk-influenced melodies, creating a haunting atmosphere that matches the sinister undertones of the narrative. What makes it distinctive is Wigmore's ability to channel raw emotional pain into a catchy yet unsettling anthem, showcasing her unique voice and New Zealand's emerging alternative rock scene.
