Janis Ian — House Without a Heart

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] And hearts break without a sound And nobody sees The heart you are holding now Is on its knees [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] I should have known it from the start That whenever we're apart I'm just a house without a heart
