House Without A Heart

Philip Clark/Janis Ian

I can do what I want, 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 its 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
