Intro

    

Verse 1

My day was so mundane, I don't think I left the house 
Drank a pot of coffee, tried to write, nothing came out 
Somehow, it's the weekend, I'm still bored out of my skull 
And I went to the party but only on principle 

Pre-Chorus

Empty, look at me 

Chorus

I'm a zombie in my body, I'm a train off of the track 
I feel dirty, I feel rotten, and the colors are all flat 
I'm a sad shell of a woman and I've got maggots for brains 
But that's just a thing that happens when my
When my baby goes away  
When my baby goes away 
He goes away 

Verse 2

Everything feels moldy like the fruit that's in my fridge 
And everything that's funny, I wish I could tell to him 
And sometimes, at a low point, I even wish for tragedy 
'Cause I know he'd come ovеr and take real good care of mе 

Pre-Chorus

It's so weird, he's not here 

Chorus

I'm a zombie in my body, I'm a train off of the track 
I feel dirty, I feel rotten, and the colors are all flat 
I'm a sad shell of a woman and I've got maggots for brains 
But that's just a thing that happens when my
When my baby goes away  
When my baby goes away 
He goes away, oh

Bridge

What can I do
But think of you?
But think of you? (But think of you?)
What can I do
But think of you? (All I can do)
But think of you? (But think of)

Chorus

I'm a zombie in my body, I'm a train off of the track 
I feel dirty, I feel rotten, and the colors are all flat 
I'm a sad shell of a woman and I've got maggots for brains 
But that's just a thing that happens when my
When my baby goes away

Post-Chorus

What can I do (When my baby goes away)
But think of you?
But think of you? (Away, when my baby goes away)
What can I do (When my baby goes away)
But think of you?
But think of you? (Away)
