Tell The House

If I leave you alone,
You’ll pace around the house,
Spend hours trying to figure out,
What’s been dragging you down south,
On a lost cause.
Just because you hate to be on your own,
So you drive,
Try to make a new home.

If I leave you alone,
You’ll leave a letter with your plan,
Well I can barely read,
The doubt runs through your hand.
Gonna leave an empty house for the night,
You wouldn’t go behind my back,
If you thought you were right.
But you know that it’s wrong,
And on the phone,
The miles can’t mask your shame,
I can tell it in your tone.

If you leave me alone,
Gonna talk to the walls ’til the doorknobs bleed,
Gonna tell jokes to the windows ’til they’re on their knees,
Gonna dance with the floorboards too,
Gonna do anything, but think of you.
Acting a fool,
Under the same moon,
Tomorrow we can pretend to forget,
But for tonight,
I’m telling all these empty rooms.

If I leave you alone.
