This House Is Empty Now

[Verse 1]

These rooms play tricks upon you

Remember when they were always filled with laughter?

But now they're quite deserted

They seem to just echo voices raised in anger

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe you will see my face reflected there on the pane

In the window of our poor forlorn and broken home

[Chorus]

Still this house is empty now

There's nothing I can do to make you want to stay

So tell me how am I supposed to live without you?

[Verse 2]

These walls were lined with pictures

Remember the glass we charged in celebration?

But now I fill my life up

With all that I can to deaden this sensation

[Pre-Chorus]

Do you recognize the face fixed in that fine silver frame?

Were you really so unhappy then? You never said

[Chorus]

So this house is empty now

There's nothing I can do to make you want to stay

So tell me how am I supposed to live without you?

[Bridge]

Woah, if I could just become forgetful when night seems so endless

Does the extinguished candle care about the darkness?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

It's funny how the memory

Will bring you so close then make you disappear

[Pre-Chorus]

Meanwhile all our friends must choose who they will favor, who they'll lose

Hang the garland high or close the door and throw away the key

[Chorus]

This house is empty now

There's no one living here you have to care about

This house is empty now

There's nothing I can do to make you want to stay

So tell me how am I supposed to live without you?
