Empty House

Jamie Miller

JM2*, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Why you holdin' on so tight? (So tight)
Say that you don't need me now
But thieves don't rob an empty house
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, house (House)
House (Yeah), yeah
Make up your mind
I'm either dirt or diamonds
If there's nothin' to my name
Why's it in your mouth again?
A tale-tell heart is always loud
And thieves don't rob an empty house
If I'm such a waste of time
Why'd you holdin' on so tight?
Say that you don't need me now
But thieves don't rob an empty house
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, house
House
I played your game for so long, forgot that I could quit
You're goin' around tellin' everyone without you, I don't exist
But I do (But I do), here I am (Here I am)
Here I stand (Here I stand) on my own two feet
You had me under your thumb, so why'd you bite the hand?
That gave all that you got, I gave you everything and more
Ooh, ooh-ooh
If there's nothin' to my name
Why's it in your mouth again?
