[Verse 1] You packed that blue suitcase By the front door frame Seven days in another town And this old house said your name I laughed like a fool, babe Said, “I’ll be fine on my own” Put one beer on the counter And called that freedom home [Pre-Chorus] First night felt wide open I kicked back, didn’t sleep But your side of the mattress Held a shape I couldn’t keep [Chorus] Seven days alone Ain’t no freedom here Seven days alone I want you near One day down And I’m already sore Seven days alone I miss you more [Verse 2] Day two, I ate cold leftovers From a plate for two The TV kept talking But it never sounded like you Day three, I stood at the window With your key in my hand Funny how a whole big house Still feels half-built with one man [Pre-Chorus] Day four came quiet Day five came hard I kept hearing your footsteps In the halls and in the dark [Chorus] Seven days alone Ain’t no freedom here Seven days alone I want you near One day down And I’m already sore Seven days alone I miss you more [Bridge] By day six, I’m talking To the cup by the sink By day seven, I’m breaking At the edge of what I think So if you’re out there smiling Under some far-off sky Know this man got lonely And he don’t know why [Chorus] Seven days alone Ain’t no freedom here Seven days alone I want you near One day down And I’m already sore Seven days alone I miss you more Seven days alone Come back to my door Seven days alone I can’t do this anymore
