Empty Home Lyrics

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
