Playing House

As I confide

My caution subsides

Will all my insecurity

Topple over and crush me

'Cause it's all that I know

And all that I hold

Will be gone before too long

So I'll just try to hang on

But it's always easier said than done

Don't pick up the phone

Just 'cause you're alone

Discover solitude to the bone

Begin to find hope in

An unspoken motivation

This isn't a home

You're just playing house

In another sad imitation

You've got the space to grow

So make it a revelation

We were similar souls

Both tortured and cold

How could I have been so wrong

Beliеving we would ever bеlong

But it's always easier said than done

And still you said the words you know I took to heart

It's only now I realize the saddest part

That there was only one time it was the first time

And nothing ever felt the same again

Don't pick up the phone

Just 'cause you're alone

Discover solitude to the bone

Begin to find hope in

An unspoken motivation

This isn't a home

You're just playing house

In another sad imitation

You've got the space to grow

So make it a revelation

No time for hesitation

'Cause I've gotta move on now

This is me and I'm saving my goodbyes

For when I'm already gone
