I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa Where I held your body close for so long, so long Walk in the house, lights are off In the closet by the door, there's your coat I wasn't thinking of you before Too many rooms in this house, so I keep going out What the hell is that about? We gotta find a way to be okay And maybe I'll just take a chainsaw to the sofa Where I held your body close for so long, so long I'm gonna break all of the china 'Cause it's just one more reminder you're gone, you're gone When I get home, TV on Drink in my glass, better make it strong Some nights wanna fill this space The tight dress and a pretty face Keep finding things that you left on purpose Did you plan that your timing's perfect? Gotta find a way to be okay Maybe I'll just take a chainsaw to the sofa Where I held your body close for so long, so long I'm gonna break all of the china 'Cause it's just one more reminder you're gone, you're gone We were building brick by brick Now it's just a quicksand home, yeah So I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa Where I held your body close for so long, so long I could put a sign in the lawn But it'd mean that I would wanna let you go And I don't wanna let you go I could put a sign in the lawn But it'd mean that I would wanna let you go And I don't wanna let you go I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa Where I held your body close for so long, so long I'll burn everything that binds us Take a lighter to the mattress and run We were building brick by brick Now it's just a quicksand home, yeah So I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa Where I held your body close for so long, so long Yeah, so long
