Utilizing themes that will later become prevalent in her discography, the fourth song on Sara Kays’s debut EP A House Too Big, discusses Sara’s feeling of loneliness as her parents near their divorce, and her older siblings move out of the house.
[Verse 1]
Mom and dad, I know you're coming to an end
Brother, brother I know you’re paying your own rent
Sister are you having fun without me yet?
Guess I could really use a friend
[Chorus]
Don't leave me to be
Don't leave family
I’m in a house that's built for many more than me
Please don't leave family
[Verse 2]
Days go by of feeling tired and alone
It's getting hard to call this empty place a home
I'd like to know when I'll be joined by company
Cause that is really all I need
[Chorus]
Don't leave me to be
Don't leave family
I’m in a house that’s built for many more than me
Please don't leave family
[Bridge]
Where have the days gone when we were young playing in the woods
Mama and daddy cuddled up while reading us a book
I know those days are gone but I can’t take this empty kitchen table
Think it's about time I throw it out
[Chorus]
Don't leave me to be
Don't leave family
Don’t leave me to be
Don't leave family
I'm in a house that's built for many more than me
Please don't leave family
I'm in a house that's built for many more than me
Please don't leave family
