| Even tho | ug | h I know you're not coming home |
| I try to keep the house nice and neat |
| I make my bed I change the sheets |
| I even learned how to use the washing machine |
| But keeping things clean doesn't change anything |
| What am I gonna do when I run out of shirts to fold? |
| What am I gonna do when I run out of lawn to mow? |
| What am I gonna do if you never come home? |
| Tell me, what am I gonna do? |

| I caught myself thinking |
| I caught myself thinking once again |
| Have to try to keep my mind out of this |
| Try not to pretend |
| I'll check the phone |
| I'll check the mail |
| I'll check the phone again and I call your mom |
| She says you're not there and I should take care |
| I hate it here |
| When you're gone |
| I hate it |
| I hate it here |
| When you're gone |
| I try to stay busy |
| I take out the trash, I sweep the floor |
| Try to keep myself occupied |
| Cause I know you don't live here anymore |
