Empty Home
Once upon a time, or just the other week
This room was full of life and love
But now it's cold and bleak
And every painting on the wall only serves to mock my pain
The warmth seeped through the cracks
And I'm all that remains
Push it down and let it go
My tears all left me long ago
What's another heartbreak in the end
So I'll just keep on doing what I know
Building walls around an empty home
Oh, I'd rather you forget me
Than dig another grave
But I'm the fool who keeps on living
While all I love is torn away
You'd die for me but I'd never ask you
I'm the one who's death is past due
I'm building up from ashes all the time
But I thought that maybe now
I had something that was mine
Push it down and let it go
My tears all left me long ago
What's another heartbreak in the end
So I'll just keep on doing what I know
Building walls around an empty home
But how am I supposed to tell our son
When he asks me where you are
That his fathers gone
But I don't even know
If he's ever coming home
The air, once filled with laughter
Now hangs heavy
And I wonder, should I leave here?
One hollow home of many
I push it down and let it go
My tears all left me long ago
What's another heartbreak in the end?
Can't allow myself to mourn
It's been this way since I was born
Torn to pieces, never taught to mend
So I'll just keep on doing what I know
Building walls around an empty home
This room was full of life and love
But now it's cold and bleak
And every painting on the wall only serves to mock my pain
The warmth seeped through the cracks
And I'm all that remains
Push it down and let it go
My tears all left me long ago
What's another heartbreak in the end
So I'll just keep on doing what I know
Building walls around an empty home
Oh, I'd rather you forget me
Than dig another grave
But I'm the fool who keeps on living
While all I love is torn away
You'd die for me but I'd never ask you
I'm the one who's death is past due
I'm building up from ashes all the time
But I thought that maybe now
I had something that was mine
Push it down and let it go
My tears all left me long ago
What's another heartbreak in the end
So I'll just keep on doing what I know
Building walls around an empty home
But how am I supposed to tell our son
When he asks me where you are
That his fathers gone
But I don't even know
If he's ever coming home
The air, once filled with laughter
Now hangs heavy
And I wonder, should I leave here?
One hollow home of many
I push it down and let it go
My tears all left me long ago
What's another heartbreak in the end?
Can't allow myself to mourn
It's been this way since I was born
Torn to pieces, never taught to mend
So I'll just keep on doing what I know
Building walls around an empty home
