Playing House

As I confide
My caution subsides
Will all my insecurity
Topple over and crush me
'Cause it’s all that I know
And all that I hold
Will be gone before too long
So I’ll just try to hang on
But it’s always easier said than done
Don’t pick up the phone
Just 'cause you’re alone
Discover solitude to the bone
Begin to find hope in
An unspoken motivation
This isn’t a home
You’re just playing house
In another sad imitation
You’ve got the space to grow
So make it a revelation
We were similar souls
Both tortured and cold
How could I have been so wrong
Beliving we would ever blong
But it’s always easier said than done
And still you said the words you know I took to heart
It’s only now I realize the saddest part
That there was only one time it was the first time
And nothing ever felt the same again
Don’t pick up the phone
Just 'cause you’re alone
Discover solitude to the bone
Begin to find hope in
An unspoken motivation
This isn’t a home
You’re just playing house
In another sad imitation
You’ve got the space to grow
So make it a revelation
No time for hesitation
'Cause I’ve gotta move on now
This is me and I’m saving my goodbyes
For when I’m already gone
