Back To The Old House Lyrics
I would rather not go 🏠
Back to the old house 🏚️
I would rather not go 🚶♂️
Back to the old house 🚪
There’s too many bad memories 💔
Too many memories there 💭
When you cycled by 🚲
Here began all my dreams ✨
The saddest thing I’ve ever seen 😢
And you never knew 🤷♂️
How much I really liked you 💖
Because I never even told you 🤐
Oh, and I meant to 💭
Are you still there or have you moved away? 🏡❓
Or have you moved away? 📦
I would love to go ❤️
Back to the old house 🏚️
But I never will 🙅♂️
I never will 🚫
I never will 🔒
