This House

This house is not my home anymore Clean and pack it up and lock the door Years of laughs and tears between the ceiling and the floor This house is not my home anymore At first I'll stay away and just move on I know it's not my place, I don't belong Watching someone else's life, sing someone else's song This house is not my home anymore They say time heals all wounds So maybe time will heal this, too Some gray in the hair of the young family there And some forgiveness between me and you Someday I'll need to drive by here again Yearning for a taste of where and when A brand new fence, a coat of paint, and a strange name on the door This house is not my home anymore Memories can haunt us at the end With my last breath, I'll call your ghost again 'Til nothing left around me will allow me to pretend This house is not my home anymore
