House Where Nobody Lives

There's a house on my block that's abandoned and cold
The folks moves out long time ago
And they took all their things and they never came back
It looks likes it's haunted with the windows all cracked
Everyone calls at the house, the house where nobody lives

Once it held dreams
Did they throw it away?
Did they know what it means?
Did someone's heart break?
Or did someone do somebody wrong?

Well, the paint's all cracked, it was peeled off of the wood
And the weeds had grown up just as high as the door
There were birds in the chimney and an old chest of drawers
Looks like no one will ever come back to the house where nobody lives

Once it held laughter
And once it held dreams
Did they know what it means?
Did someone's heart break?
Or did someone do somebody wrong?

So if you find someone to have and to hold
Don't trade it for silver, don't trade it for gold
'Cause I have all of life's treasures
And they remind me houses are just made of wood
What makes a house grand, oh it ain't the roof or the doors
If there's love in a house, it's a palace, for sure
But without love, it ain't nothing but a house
