I try to stay busy I do the dishes, I mow the lawn I try to keep myself occupied Even though 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 a washing machine 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, oh, what am I gonna do? Oh, I hate it I hate it here When you're gone I caught myself thinking I caught myself thinking once again I 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 I call you're mom She says you're not there And I should take care Oh, 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 LyricsFreak
