House Lyrics

How do you manage it all

Being wonderful and huge, painful and small?

How do you make me feel like throwing up?

Give up, give in to the floor

Am I easier to swallow down here?

Before I wasn't sure

Don't take every wall down

Leave me with illusions for myself

For a time you must admit this was a beautiful house

The fuchsia streaks

From dancing dreams

Into almost-reality in my kitchen

We drove, we laughed

You try to take it back

I swear I left every light on

Made sure you had enough to make it through this storm

When are you going to feel like growing up?

And how much more good can I be?

I'm giving more than I have

You are emptying me

Don't take anymore now

Leave me with at least some of myself

Trying to be gentle but I swear you make me forget how

From pink to gray

Bundles of excuses like a bouquet

All in my kitchen

We couldn't speak

You wouldn't even look at me

Now that we're through, I would take an empty room over settling

I walk away
