lyrics

Well if I can’t have you I guess I’ll just pack it in
Gather up my things, go back to where I’ve been
Don’t feel sorry for me, don’t you even call
‘Cause if I can’t have you, I don’t need anyone at all

I can live in this house of rain
I got the water to ease my pain
Wake up in the morning my heart will be a mess
But with the rain coming down each day hurts a little less

I’m going back to my old place, with the clouds in every room
Lights are always broken, ground’s too wet to bloom
Skies are always dark and there’s not much to see
But that’s okay, I don’t care, the only one living there is me

There’s another way I know, but it’s too far to go
To get there would be rough, I don’t think I’m strong enough

And it’s so easy to live here with the water raining down
I could last a lifetime just listening to that sound
Make sure my doors and windows are staying locked up tight
‘Cause it’ll be a long time before I let in any light
