I re-arranged the house, on the day you came to stay
I put a lot of work in to it, but now you’ve gone away
Oh oh, hey hey hey, now you’ve gone away
I threw all of your stuff away, when you said you couldn’t stay
And now I wish I had it back, to look through every day
Cos it’s not the same, now you’ve gone away
But in the picture frame, it’s just like yesterday, yesterday
I put up brand new wallpaper and then I tore it down
I couldn’t stand old friends coming round
I’d find myself shopping for nothing in aisle after aisle
I suppose I was looking for something that might just make me smile
Here I Sit, all alone, I can’t believe, that you have gone
I see your space, I see your face, I hear your voice, all over the place
I can’t let go, I know you know, life is cruel, that’s just the way it goes
If I could only see you now just one last time, I’d say goodbye
I re-arranged the house, on the day you went away
