You Moved Away

You sold your records by the pile

For they were only yours for a while

You placed your furniture in the yard

And it was gone within the hour

When you moved away

All your friends came over and you told them what to take

When you moved away

Everyone thought it was a mistake

You mopped the floors and filled the cracks

To get your security deposit back

You closed your account at the bank

You checked your tires and filled the tank

When you moved away

All of your friends got drunk and one by one begged you to stay

When you moved away

They all felt irrationally betrayed

Since you moved away

I walk past your vacant apartment almost every day

When you moved away

You left this town with such an empty space
