The House Won't Miss You: lyrics
- Take your box of unmatched socks and leave.
- The floorboards stopped their groaning when you packed.
- The kitchen tiles are sighing with relief,
- Now the spice rack doesn't have to stay so cramped.
- The light bulbs aren't as flickery as they were,
- The faucet stopped that steady, rhythmic drip.
- The drywall isn't listening for your slur,
- Or waiting for your next ego-driven trip.
- The house won't miss you, babe, and neither will I.
- The hallway’s finally wide enough for two.
- She’s breathing deeper under this July sky,
- Doing better since she’s gotten rid of you.
- The house won't miss you.
- No, she won't miss you.
- The thermostat is holding steady now,
- It used to jump whenever you walked in.
- The coat rack made a little grateful bow,
- To the empty space where your heavy coat had been.
- The mirror’s looking brighter in the hall,
- Since it doesn't have to reflect your grumpy face.
- The pictures are still hanging on the wall,
- Glad to have some quiet in this place.
- The house won't miss you, babe, and neither will I.
- The hallway’s finally wide enough for two.
- She’s breathing deeper under this July sky,
- Doing better since she’s gotten rid of you.
- The house won't miss you.
- No, she won't miss you.
- Go on and take the drafty window too,
- It’s the only thing that ever acted like you.
- Always letting in the bitter cold,
- Getting loud and stubborn as it’s getting old.
- The house won't miss you, babe, and neither will I.
- The hallway’s finally wide enough for two.
- She’s breathing deeper under this July sky,
- Doing better since she’s gotten rid of you.
- The house won't miss you.
- No, she won't miss you.
