Maison

Last night on the testing bench
You told me: We’re not dogs
We talked nice until we hated each other
After that, we’ll be nothing

We were beautiful though
We loved each other until
You pulled me out and chained me, love
And strapped me until I bled

If you want, just let me go
Don’t add anything more
I’d rather just swallow alone
Than play the pretty one with lost hope

'Cause I’ve been wrong too many times

Thinking like you, damn
That love would finally be mine
And pull me out of my regrets

Tonight, it’s life that offers
The chance for you to finally leave
I’ll make sure to close the door
I know you never go far

It’s the silence that I hear
It knows in the noise
That it’s hiding there
At the foot of the wall, oh

It smells empty in the house
Way too empty, it’s for real
You took your suitcase for your reasons
And if you stay
I’ll always be free in every way

Empty in the house
Way too empty, it’s for real
You took your suitcase for your reasons
And if you stay
I’ll always be free in every way

I gave you my heart
Gave you the words
Even some grudges
If only it was enough

You gave me the whip
Told me I was good
'Cause loving in pain
If only you knew
That even after all the screams
That even after all the tears, yeah
You saw everything in my life
All my life in color, yeah

That even after all the blood
Even after all the sweat
You saw everything of me
But never my happiness

It smells empty in the house
Way too empty, it’s for real
You took your suitcase for your reasons
And if you stay
I’ll always be free in every way

Empty in the house
Way too empty, it’s for real
You took your suitcase for your reasons
And if you stay
I’ll always be free in every way
