Karaoké A House in Nebraska Ethel Cain

Labored breaths and bed sores

Sing it 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

And I still call home that house in Nebraska

Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor

Where the world was empty

Save you and I

Where you came and I laughed and you left, and I cried

Where you told me even 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

But I still call home that house in Nebraska

Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor

Where the world was empty

Save you and I

Where you came and I laughed and you left, and I cried

Where you told me even if we died tonight that I'd die yours

You know, I still wait at the edge of town

Praying straight to God that maybe you'll come back around

I cry every day and the bottles make it worse

'Cos you were the only one

I was never scared to tell I 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 all right

And I feel so alone

And I feel so alone out here

I feel so alone

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
