I Don't Live There Anymore

(album: I Hope You Don't Mind Me Writing - 2017)

I live in a glass house
But I'm forever throwing stones
Most of it's broken
But I call it my home

I was smoking like a chimney
I was standing on the porch
Well the bell is kept on ringing but there was no one at the door

Well, you might have seen the invite cuz I was cooking all the time
But placemats were empty when I sat down to dine

You could have changed it all if you had called
The house was cold
And remained unsold
The neighbour told me you darkened my door,
Well I hope you saw I don't live there anymore

Saw so much pain though these windows
Left your picture on the fridge
Well they boarded them up dead shut
And I'm glad that they did

I miss the leaking from the ceiling
And the squeaking of the gate
Took some of your lilies with me
But they won't grow the same

You could have changed it all if you had called
The house was cold
And remained unsold
The neighbour told me you darkened my door,
Well I hope you saw I don't live there anymore

Well I took some paint from a desperate place
And an emptied case
And I covered up the walls

But there's still scuff marks
And some plastered scars
I drive the same old car
But you couldn't tell at all

The neighbour told me you darkened my door,
Well I hope you saw I don't need you anymore
