Penthouse Lyrics

[Intro]
Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Verse 1: Kelsea Ballerini]
We moved to a place with a view off of Eighth Avenue after we said "I do"
And we watched cars of bachelorettes
2 a.M. cigarettes, and traffic headed downtown
And the interstate was so loud
There was a lot it had to drown out

[Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini]
We played the part five nights
But we were never there on the weekends, baby
We got along real nice
But when I left town, did you hate me?
One day, the curtain started coming down
I changed the second we were moving out
I guess wrong can look alright
When you're playing home in a penthouse, baby

[Verse 2: Kelsea Ballerini]
I bought the house with a fence
Enough room for some kids, a backyard for Dibs
And I thought that would make it all better
And maybe forever wouldn't feel like the walls closing in
'Cuz how does that even make sense?
Now that I think about it, it never did

[Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini]
We played the part five nights
But we were never there on the weekends, baby
We got along real nice, but when I left town, did you hate me?
One day, the curtain started coming down
You changed the second we were moving out
I guess wrong can look alright
When you're playing home in a penthouse, baby
'Cuz we were playing home in a penthouse, baby

[Bridge: Kelsea Ballerini]
It hurts putting ѕh¡t in a box
And now we don't talk
And it stings rolling up the welcome mat
Knowing you got half

[Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini]
I kissed someone new last night
But now I don't know where you're sleeping, baby
We got along real nice, until I wanted out
Now I know you hate me
One day, the curtain started coming down
We changed the second we were moving out
I guess wrong can look alright
When you're playing home in a penthouse, baby
Oh, we were playing home in a penthouse, baby, hmm

[Outro: Kelsea Ballerini]
I just bought the house that we saw
You said it was wrong
I wanted it all along
