In The House That Is Empty

Smoke the last cigarette Savor the drink Nothing at home for you Just dishes in the sink Get up for work again Muddle on through Deny all the facts you face This life can't be true Remember when you found out all your heroes had lied They told you love hurt less after it died They didn't understand that hearts easily break Especially yours as if destined by fate You find your self wandering Day dreaming in the car You think about mistakes you made And the music stings your old scars You don't talk to friends much Cuz it cause more harm Imagine their house on the hill True love in their arms Remember when you found out all your heroes had lied They told you love hurt less after it died They didn't understand that hearts easily break Especially yours as if destined by fate Remember the dreamers that we use to be The plans that you made at a quarter past three You stayed up till dawn to watch the sun come around And the girl in your arms as you slept on the ground Remember when you found out all your heroes had lied They told you love hurt less after it died They didn't understand that hearts easily break Especially yours as if destined by fate You remember the dreamers that you use to be The plans that you made at a quarter past three You stayed up till dawn to watch the sun come around And the girl in your arms as you slept on the ground But now you sit out on the porch alone You see her face in the kids who are grown One calls to check if you are your ok And says they'll come by one of these days In the dead of the night you wake up to scream You sit up in sweat from another bad dream You can see her ghost sleeping, next to you, in the night In a house that empty your to tired to fight Smoke the last cigarette Savor the drink Nothing at home for you Just dishes in the sink
