On a cold autumn day in a place far away
There's a house that I knew
where the grass never grew
There’s a story I tell to my friends and myself
There was nothing to do
but be anxious and blue
So where did everyone go?
'Cause I'm falling asleep all alone
I swear I’ll need a miracle,
just to make an escape on my own
When everything is falling apart,
there's a splinter of you in my heart
I guess I'm just a kid in the dark
still afraid of the shapes in the yard
This house still breaks my heart
When my brothers moved out
and my dad sold the couch
It was harder to stay
when the dog passed away
Now they're tearing down the walls
and I still forget to call
Mother couldn't stop by without starting to cry
So where did everyone go?
'Cause I'm falling asleep all alone
I swear I'll need a miracle,
just to make an escape on my own
When everything is falling apart,
there’s a splinter of you in my heart
I guess I’m just a kid in the dark
still afraid of the shapes in the yard
This house still breaks my heart
