Lyrics
I live alone in a haunted house
I reside in a house filled with haunting memories or emotions.
It's good to hear you're better now
It's comforting to know that you are in a better state now.
Thank God I finally let you out
Expressing gratitude for finally letting someone go.
Thank God I set you free
Grateful for setting someone free from a relationship or burden.
I hear that you're religious now
There's awareness that the person has embraced religion.
You exorcised the bad right out
They've removed negativity from their life.
Found God in spaces saved for me
Discovering spirituality in spaces that were preserved for the speaker.
Thank God I set you free
Reiterating the relief of setting someone free.
Cuz our friends tune the sound of my voice out
Friends ignore the speaker's voice; there's a sense of isolation.
Guess that I finally gave you the choice now
The speaker acknowledges giving the other person a choice now.
Does my absence feel like relief?
Wondering if the speaker's absence brings relief to the other person.
Thank God I set you free
Reiterating the gratitude for setting someone free.
Thank God I set you free
Repetition emphasizing the act of setting someone free.
I live alone in a rotting room
Describing the loneliness in a decaying environment.
The walls are bearish, I am too
The speaker and the surroundings lack vitality.
I washed my bedsheets just for you
Cleaning the sheets as a gesture for someone who is no longer there.
My laundry's sat for weeks
Neglecting laundry, symbolizing emotional stagnation.
My hometown's run by high school kids
Reflecting on a hometown influenced by immaturity.
I was big back then and I haven't been since
Former glory contrasted with the present insignificance.
Gave you something to run from, not someone to miss
Acknowledging being a source of escape, not missed.
I wish I'd let you be
Expressing regret for not letting the person be.
Cuz our friends tune the sound of my voice out
Friends still ignore the speaker's voice, highlighting isolation.
Guess that I finally gave you the choice now
Reiterating the idea of giving the other person a choice.
Does my absence feel like relief?
Asking if the absence of the speaker brings relief to the other person.
Thank God I set you free
Gratitude for liberating someone is restated.
God you're so lucky
Noting the other person's perceived luck for being free.
You don't have to love me
The relief of not being obligated to love and deal with the speaker's emotions.
And live with my tears and my fears and my ghosts
Describing the burden of tears, fears, and ghosts that the other person is spared from.
Oh god you're so lucky
Reiterating the other person's fortune for escaping.
You got away from me
Acknowledging that the other person successfully left the speaker.
That you get hold me
The idea that the other person can still hold a connection, but not too closely.
But never too close
Expressing the speaker's struggle with personal growth.
While I learn to live on my own
The process of learning to live independently.
With every part of me too ugly to know
Accepting the unattractive aspects of oneself.
Oh I'll learn to bare it alone
Committing to facing challenges alone in the haunted home.
In my haunted home
Emphasizing the solitude and haunted nature of the speaker's dwelling.
As our friends tune the sound of my voice out
Friends continue to ignore the speaker's voice, indicating ongoing isolation.
Guess that I finally gave you the choice now
Reiterating the idea of giving the other person a choice.
Does my absence feel like relief?
Questioning whether the speaker's absence brings relief to the other person.
Thank God I set you free
Gratitude expressed once again for setting someone free.
Thank God I set you free
Repeating the thanks for liberating the other person.
