Brighter Discontent

Got a brand new roof above my head
 All the empty boxes thrown away
 I rearranged the place
 A hundred times today
 But the ordering of objects
 Couldn't hide what's missing
 All these things should make me happy
 Make me happy to be home again
 All these things should make me happy
 Make me happy to be alone again
 Got myself a bottle of red wine
 Got a night of nothing else to do
 I think I might know
 What I really want
 But is a brighter discontent
 The best that I could hope to find?
 Got a big black television set
 Now I can watch just what I want
 But I'm here staring up
 At pictures on the wall
 And where are you
 You're still stuck inside them all
 All these things should make me happy
 Make me happy to be home again
 All these things should make me happy
 Make me happy to be alone again
 But love is not these belongings
 That surround me
 Though there's meaning
 In the memories they hold
 A breaking heart in an empty apartment
 Was the loudest sound I never heard
 ♪
 Got a desk I'll write myself a note
 Pretending that it came from you
 On hotel stationary
 From the time we first met
 Whatever I can do cause
 I won't throw my hands up yet
 All these things should make me happy
 Make me happy to be home again
 All these things should make me happy
 Make me happy to be alone again
 But love is not these belongings
 That surround you
 Though there's meaning
 In the memories they hold
 A breaking heart in an empty apartment
 Was the loudest sound I never heard
 Well I'll be find if
 I dont look around me now
 Too much for what's gone
 If only I can wait here just a little while
 And let time pass in my roomk
