splinter

[Verse 1]

On a cold autumn day in a place far away

There's a house that I knew where the grass never grew

There’s a story I tell to my friends and myself

There was nothing to do but be anxious and blue

[Chorus]

So where did everyone go? 'Cause I'm falling asleep all alone

I swear I’ll need a miracle, just to make an escape on my own

When everything is falling apart, there's a splinter of you in my heart

I guess I'm just a kid in the dark still afraid of the shapes in the yard

This house still breaks my heart

[Verse 2]

When my brothers moved out and my dad sold the couch

It was harder to stay when the dog passed away

Now they're tearing down the walls and I still forget to call

Mother couldn't stop by without starting to cry

[Chorus]

So where did everyone go? 'Cause I'm falling asleep all alone

I swear I'll need a miracle, just to make an escape on my own

When everything is falling apart, there’s a splinter of you in my heart

I guess I’m just a kid in the dark still afraid of the shapes in the yard

This house still breaks my heart
