All I've Ever Known

I live on the 24th floor
With a view of the city from a wraparound 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 missing 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 into 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 missing 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 wraparound porch
I never knew it's all I've ever wanted
