I’m going through the house Pulling your stuff into piles Realizing how little you had And how much space you took up So much weight left behind for someone so empty I let you take over everything It all revolved around you If you didn’t like it, it had to go But if I like it, it didn’t matter You took pieces of me That I’ll never get back And gave them away To people who wanted more Now the house feels empty And for the first time I don’t feel empty

Clinging to the Empty
I’m going through the house Pulling your stuff into piles Realizing how little you had And how much space you took up So much weight left behind for someone so empty I let you take over everything It all revolved around you If you didn’t like it, it had to go But if I like it, it didn’t matter You took pieces of me That I’ll never get back And gave them away To people who wanted more Now the house feels empty And for the first time I don’t feel empty
