"A House In Nebraska (Demo 1)" lyrics - ETHEL CAIN

Labored breaths and bed sores
Singing to me all day long
When the aching sound of silence used to be our favorite song
You and me against the world
You were my man and I your girl
We had nothing except each other
You were my whole world
Then the day came
And you were up and gone

[Chorus:]
And I still call home that house in Nebraska
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor
While the world was empty, except you and I
Where you came, and I laughed, and you left, and I cried
Where you told me, boy, if we died tonight that I'd die yours

These dirt roads are empty
The ones we paved ourselves
Your mama calls me sometimes, to see if I'm doing well
And I lie to her, and say that I'm doing fine
When really I'd kill myself to hold you one more time
And it hurts to miss you, but it's worse to know
That I'm the reason you won't come home

[Chorus:]
But I still call home that house in Nebraska
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor
While the world was empty, save for you and I
Where you came, and I laughed, and you left, and I cried
Where you told me that if we died tonight, that I'd die yours

You know I still wait at the edge of town
Pray straight to God that maybe you'd come back around
I cry every day, and the bottles make it worse (Make it worse)
'Cause you were the only one I was never scared to tell I'd hurt
And I found photographs of our school on the day we met
I thought that you were so beautiful
It was love, I guess
And you might never come back home
And I may never sleep at night
But God, I just hope you're doing fine out there
I just pray that you're alright

[Outro:]
And I feel so alone, and I feel so alone out here
And I feel so alone, and I feel so alone out here
And I feel so alone without you, I'm so alone out here
I feel so alone, I feel so alone
I'm so alone out here without you, baby
