Empty House Lyrics by Abe Parker
I was busy thinkin’ ’bout
What everybody thinks about me?
Why I laugh when it isn’t funny?
And why I’m even at this party now?
Step out and say a friend is coming
I’m walking to my car and wondering
Why I’m alone but still prefer an empty house?
I wish that I could just turn off these thoughts
And let myself out
Why does it seem so easy for everyone else?
And I’m so tired of re-enacting things
I just could have said out loud
But I was busy thinking ’bout
If anybody else is leaving
This bathroom’s got a dirty ceiling
Am I the only one that’s feeling this way now?
Why everybody’s smiling at me?
And why it doesn’t make me happy?
And what excuse I’m going to give to turn around?
I wish that I could just turn off these thoughts
And let myself out
Why does it seem so easy for everyone else?
And I’m so tired of re-enacting things
I just could have said out loud
But I was busy thinking ’bout
But I was busy thinking ’bout
But I was busy thinking ’bout
But I was busy thinking ’bout
Get home and go sit in the kitchen
I’m turning off the lights and wishing
I would have stayed, you know I hate this empty house
