I'm Not A Mushroom

From concrete to shingles,
And every single nail we drove
To hold this house together.

That stain glass door
Those hard wood floors
Cost a little more
But they made this place better

I ain't 19 I ain't naive
That ain't the way I make my bed
I can't believe you're tellin me this all can be repaired.

It's gonna take more than paint and pillows
New curtains on these windows
To cover up all the trash that you drug in.

There ain't a rug big enough to sweep it under
And just in case you wonder
I'd rather strike a match and watch it go up in smoke.
It's gonna take more
Than paint and pillows.

You know these walls don't have to talk
I knew it all
Intuition, I guess.

That long dark hair
On the back of my chair
Must be where she put her shoes on
Before she left.

Everything she touched belonged to me
And I want no tainted anything
The life we built baby
You killed in just one night.

It's gonna take more than paint and pillows
New curtains on these windows
To cover up all the trash that you drug in

There ain't a rug big enough to sweep it under
And just in case you wonder,
I'd rather strike a match and watch it go up in smoke.
It's gonna take more than paint and pillows.


It's gonna take more than paint and pillows

And just in case you wonder
I'd rather strike a match and watch it go up in smoke.
It's gonna take more
Than paint and pillows.

I still love you, and I don't know why.
And I can't rise above you,
So I don't even try.
