Playing House Lyrics by Eileen Alister
Ha-ah, ha-ah-ah
Drenched clothes, red nose
I’ve been waiting in the rain outside your condo
You weren’t sure what chemicals, so I called it hope (Ha-ah-ah)
Painful damage
You took every part of me, now I’m just wreckage
You drive enough and you forget while I blocked the road
I know it shouldn’t be this hard to be meant for each other
And it shouldn’t this hard to admit that we’re not
I still play house in the [?] that you’ve 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’ve 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 [?] 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 was stranded
I know it shouldn’t be this hard to be meant for each other
And it shouldn’t this hard to admit that we’re not
I still play house in the [?] that you’ve 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’ve wrecked
And you still play pretend like there’s a heart inside your chest
I’ve lost tears I won’t get back
I fell right into your trap
You pull strings and then I snap
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 me
When I was down, you fled the scene
Is this part of your routine
To take pain to the extreme?
[?]
You’re falling for the scheme
I’ve lost tears I won’t get back
I fell right into your trap
You pull strings and then I snap
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 me
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 this hard to admit that we’re not
I still play house inside the walls that you’ve 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
