So let me tell you about a time
When the first man that was mine
Pulled the wool over my eyes, oh
Yeah he was older, he was kind
'Til he found his favorite crime
It was my heart on the line, oh

Over one year he was fading
Couldn't keep up all the faking
Disguised lying on the floor of our kitchen
I could see him but the one that I loved he was missing
It's so damn deceiving
I still remember that evening
Packed up his car and he handed his keys in
Just when he's out of my head hear the backdoor open
And he creeps in

This house is empty oh how he holds me
I feel him with me living rent free
This house is empty oh how he holds me
I feel him with me, living rent free

Everything I touched, everything I tasted
Whether I was sober, whether always wasted
Everyone I dated, I could see his face in
Everywhere I went, every other airport

Could be on a plane, ready for the encore

Over one year he was fading
Couldn't keep up all the faking
Disguised lying on the floor of our kitchen
I could see him but the one that I loved he was missing
It's so damn deceiving
I still remember that evening
Packed up his car and he handed his keys in
Just when he's out of my head hear the backdoor open
And he creeps in

This house is empty oh how he holds me
I feel him with me living rent free
This house is empty oh how he holds me
I feel him with me, living rent free

This house is empty oh how he holds me (oh)
I feel him with me living rent free (oh)
This house is empty oh how he holds me (me, oh)
I feel him with me, living rent free
