Janis Ian - House Without a Heart lyrics

I can do what I want
I can choose where to haunt
I live like a ghost in this town
See a movie at one, go to sleep with the sun
Knowing you won't be around

All the familiar places
All of the smiling faces
They ask me how you are
I tell them you are far away
But you're coming home soon
They smile and walk away
Leaving me alone to say
That I'm lost without you

I miss you more than yesterday
More than words can say
More than hands can pray
I should have known it from the start
That whenever we're apart
I'm just a house without a heart

I can stay out all night
Leave on every light
Throw all the coupon books away
I can lock out the cat
She can live off her fat
I never liked her anyway

I miss you more than yesterday
More than words can say
More than hands can pray
I should have known it from the start
That whenever we're apart
I'm just a house without a heart

And hearts break without a sound
And nobody sees
The heart you are holding now
Is on it's knees

I miss you more than yesterday
More than words can say
More than hands can pray
I should have known it from the start
That whenever we're apart
I'm just a house without a heart

I should have known it from the start
That whenever we're apart
I'm just a house without a heart
