All I've Ever Known

I live on the 24th floor

With a view of the city from a wrap-around porch

Honestly, it's all I've ever wanted

And I think you'd hate this place

You'd complain about the rent and the way I decorate

And I'd probably rearrange it

If you were here, I wouldn't be

It took losing you to find me

'Cause all I've ever known is fit the mold, play the role

Be a good wife, wash your clothes

Turn this house into a home

And all I've ever known is put your needs before my own

As I lie in bed alone

Am I missin' you or all I've ever known?

Ooh, ooh

We lived on Van Buren

In a little white house with a little wood fence

It was all you ever wanted

And you'd drink side-stage, and I'd sing my songs

And we'd pretend we didn't almost call the wedding off

I came in to my own

And you went back home

Sometimes I miss that yellow kitchen

It's both our fault that this fell apart, but you won't admit it

And that's the difference

And all I've ever known is fit the mold, play the role

Be a good wife, wash your clothes

Turn this house into a home

And all I've ever known is put your needs before my own

As I lie in bed alone

Am I missin' you or all I've ever known?

Ooh, ooh

You're all I've ever known

Ooh, ooh

All I've ever known is fit the mold, play the role

Feel like a guest inside your home

Beg you to love me, but you won't

Now I'm on my own, know what I need and what I don't

I sleep sound in my bed alone

'Cause I don't miss you, you're just all I've ever known

Ooh, ooh

You're all I've ever known

Ooh, ooh

I live on the 24th floor

With a view of the city from a wrap-around porch

I never knew it's all I've ever wanted
