Hate It Here Songtext / Lyric

I try to stay busy

I do the dishes, I mow the lawn

I try to keep myself occupied

Even though I know you're not coming home



I try to keep the house nice and neat

I make my bed, I change the sheets

I even learned how to use the washing machine

Keeping things clean doesn't change anything



What am I gonna do when I run out of shirts to fold?

What am I gonna do when I run out of lawn to mow?

What am I gonna do if you never come home?

Tell me, oh what am I gonna do?



Oh, I hate it

I hate it here

When you're gone






I caught myself thinking

I caught myself thinking once again

I had to try to keep my mind out of this

Try not to pretend



I check the phone

I check the mail

I check the phone again, I call your mom

She says you're not there and I should take care



I hate it here

When you're gone

I hate it

I hate it here

When you're gone



I try to stay busy

I take out the trash, I sweep the floor

I try to keep myself occupied

Cause I know you don't live here anymore
