Playing House

Eileen Alister

Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Drenched clothes, red nose
I've been waiting in the rain outside your condo
You won't show, I can't let go, so I call it hope (ah-ah-ah)
Painful damage
You took every part of me, now I'm just wreckage
You're drivin' off and you forget while I've blocked the road

I know it shouldn't be this hard to be meant for each other
And it shouldn't be this hard to admit that we're not
I still play house under the roof that you have left
And you still play pretend like there's a heart inside your chest
And it shouldn't be this easy to cut all of our ties
But you can do it in your sleep while I get compromised
I still play house inside the walls that you have wrecked
And you still play pretend like there's a heart inside your chest

It's over, terminated
Now I could puke at the fact that you saw me naked
It's like a dagger to the gut, it makes me sick (it makes me sick)
I get cold sweats when I think about the things I let you see
You've seen me at my worst, and that's the worst part for me
You've held all of my pieces while I was left empty-handed
You made it to the shore while I got stranded

I know it shouldn't be this hard to be meant for each other
And it shouldn't be this hard to admit that we're not
I still play house under the roof that you have left
And you still play pretend like there's a heart inside your chest
And it shouldn't be this easy to cut all of our ties
But you can do it in your sleep while I get compromised
I still play house inside the walls that you have wrecked
And you still play pretend like there's a heart inside your chest

I've lost years I won't get back
I fell right into your trap
You pulled strings and then I snapped
Once was whole before I cracked
How I died when you walked out
Then you got lost in the crowd
The worst that came out your mouth
I could never say out loud
I got quiet, you got mean
When I was down, you fled the scene
Is this part of your routine
To take pain to the extreme?
The damage's unforeseen
When you're falling for the scheme
I've lost years I won't get back
I fell right into your trap
You pulled strings and then I snapped
Once was whole before I cracked
How I died when you walked out
Then you got lost in the crowd
The worst that came out your mouth
I could never say out loud
I got quiet, you got mean
When I was down, you fled the scene
Is this part of your routine
To take pain to the extreme?
If this was a movie scene
No one would wanna be Eileen

I know it shouldn't be this hard to be meant for each other
And it shouldn't be this hard to admit that we're not
I still play house inside the walls that you have wrecked
And you still play pretend like there's a heart inside your chest
And it shouldn't be this easy to cut all of our ties
But you can do it in your sleep while I get compromised
