My House
It seems like every male that steps through my door
Settles down like he doesn't want to be my neighbor anymore
He wants to be a part of my life and sit on my living room chair
And I sit down beside him because I like that he is there
Then he stops coming home and he never even calls
I feel quite alone and surrounded by these four walls
One day he comes back and packs his suitcase
Leaves the keys on the counter and leaves this old place
I watch from the kitchen window and wave goodbye
Until the next one comes dressed in a suit and a tie
He seems to be sincere and so I open the door
And realize his outside demeanor doesn't match his core
Does my house smell or have I nothing good inside?
Why does every father, uncle, brother come and then leave me behind
I soon learn my lesson that they are all the same
But I, the fool, opened the door and so I am to blame
That's why my house is shutting down, the lights are going out
The paint will peel, the curtains fall, the lock will rust, no doubt
Anyone who rings my heart's bell will remain outside
And I will lay on the kitchen floor until I simply die
