[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 3]
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
