Groceries for One - ArlenaZara
I grabbed a basket by the door
I didn't take a heavy cart
I walked into the grocery store
with a heavy, breaking heart
I skip the fresh bread on the shelf
It goes bad before I'm through
I'm just shopping for myself
now that I'm not feeding you
I'm buying groceries for one
a single apple, half a loaf
I push my basket down the aisle
like a quiet, lonely ghost
I don't need the family size
I put your favorite cereal back
The hardest part of moving on
is knowing what I lack
buying groceries for one
I walk down the coffee aisle
and see the dark roast that you drink
I stood there staring for a while
trying really hard not to think
I buy the cheap stuff just for me
because the good stuff tastes like you
It's crazy how a grocery store
can break a heart in two
I'm buying groceries for one
a single apple, half a loaf
I push my basket down the aisle
like a quiet, lonely ghost
I don't need the family size
I put your favorite cereal back
The hardest part of moving on
is knowing what I lack
buying groceries for one
A lady at the checkout line
asked me how my day has been
I force a smile and say I'm fine
and I slide my credit card right in
I carry one bag to the car
It doesn't weigh much in my hand
but carrying this heavy heart
is something she won't understand
Because I'm buying groceries for one
a single apple, half a loaf
I push my basket down the aisle
like a quiet, lonely ghost
I don't need the family size
I put your favorite cereal back
The hardest part of moving on
is knowing what I lack
buying groceries for one
I put the milk inside the fridge
I close the door and turn around
The kitchen is so empty now
there isn't any sound
just cooking for myself tonight
Yeah, groceries for one
