Homemaker

If I had a dollar

For every time someone called me their muse

And ruined my life

I'd buy an island,

Be on the next flight

But I spent all my money

And wasted my time

On empty promises

That always fall through

Making up fantasy versions of you

Lying to myself,

But what's the use

When we both know the truth?

I'm not a homemaker

But I house heartbreakers

Taking them in

Takes everything that I've got

I'll never be your bride

Laced up and dressed in white

I've lived too many lives to give mine away

I'm not a homemaker

But I house heartbreakers

You said you love how I light up the room

A trophy to show off to friends in back rooms

But only when it's convenient for you

If I burn too bright then I blow out the fuse

And now I'm too much

It's too real

Stuck in the mud

Spinning the wheels

We're going nowhere and everyone knows

That's just how it goes

I'll never meet your mama

You won't get down on one knee

Just a pit stop

Before the road calls you to leave

I know how this ends

You never choose me

I'm not a homemaker

But I house heartbreakers

Taking them in

Takes everything that I've got

I'll never be your bride

Laced up and dressed in white

I've lived too many lives to give mine away

I'm not a homemaker

But I house heartbreakers
