Melissa Moore - House Lyrics

How do you manage it all
Being wonderful and huge, painful and small?
How do you make me feel like throwing up?

Give up, give in to the floor
Am I easier to swallow down here?
Before I wasn't sure

Don't take every wall down
Leave me with illusions for myself
For a time you must admit this was a beautiful house

The fuchsia streaks
From dancing dreams
Into almost-reality in my kitchen

We drove, we laughed
You try to take it back

I swear I left every light on
Made sure you had enough to make it through this storm
When are you going to feel like growing up?

And how much more good can I be?
I'm giving more than I have
You are emptying me

Don't take anymore now
Leave me with at least some of myself
Trying to be gentle but I swear you make me forget how

From pink to gray
Bundles of excuses like a bouquet
All in my kitchen

We couldn't speak
You wouldn't even look at me
Now that we're through, I would take an empty room over settling

I walk away
