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 whats 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 with nothing else to do
I think I might know what I really want
But is a brighter discontent the best that I can 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
Where are you, you're still stuck inside 'em 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 and surroundings
Though theres meaning in the memories they hold
A breaking heart in an empty apartment
Was the loudest sound I ever 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
Chorus
But love is not these belongings that surround you
Though theres meaning in the memories they hold
A breaking heart in an empty apartment
Was the loudest sound I never heard
But I'll be fine if I don't look around me that much for whats gone
If only I could wait here just a little while and let time pass in my room
All the empty boxes thrown away
I rearranged the place a hundred times today
But the ordering of objects couldn't hide whats 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 with nothing else to do
I think I might know what I really want
But is a brighter discontent the best that I can 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
Where are you, you're still stuck inside 'em 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 and surroundings
Though theres meaning in the memories they hold
A breaking heart in an empty apartment
Was the loudest sound I ever 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
Chorus
But love is not these belongings that surround you
Though theres meaning in the memories they hold
A breaking heart in an empty apartment
Was the loudest sound I never heard
But I'll be fine if I don't look around me that much for whats gone
If only I could wait here just a little while and let time pass in my room

My [ex]boyfriend and i went out for a year and a half and the breakup was messy. Im moving out of state 1000 miles away (for college) and this song just makes me think that things WONT be okay.
"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 whats missing"----Ugh, not excited about moving now...
"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"---SHOULD but they probably wont :(
"I think I might know what I really want
But is a brighter discontent the best that I can hope to find... I'm here staring up at pictures on the wall
Where are you, you're still stuck inside 'em all"--- i got rid of all our pictures :/
"But love is not these belongings that surround you
Though theres meaning in the memories they hold
A breaking heart in an empty apartment"-- Yes, i shall be living in my own apartment as well, first time out on my own :o[
"I'll be fine if I don't look around me that much for whats gone If only I could wait here just a little while and let time pass in my room "--- If only.....
It's ". . .was the loudest sound I never heard" not ever heard.
It's "I'll be fine if I don't look around me now, too much for whats gone" not that much for whats gone
And finally, it's "If only I can stay hear just a little while - - and let time pass in my room" not If only I could wait here.
I think thats all the errors
