|
An empty house
|
Is the only thing standin'
|
Between our lives
|
And the speed of sound
|
|
Some words flew out
|
And made a crash landin'
|
No love survived
|
Not a trace could be found
|
|
CHORUS:
|
I broke your heart
|
With the back of my mind
|
From the tip of my tongue
|
To the end of the line
|
|
I walked away
|
And you stood there tremblin'
|
Like a leaf
|
In the autumn chill
|
|
Now this house won't say, no
|
What I'm still rememberin'
|
Three angry words
|
And a love that they killed
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
BRIDGE:
|
You couldn't say how much it hurt you
|
And I couldn't see the damage I'd done
|
'Til I watched the greatest love I've known
|
All come down to a slip of the tongue
|
|
Well I'd take it back
|
But time won't let me
|
No, time just takes
|
You further away
|
|
I watched you pack
|
A house full of memories
|
Where did you go
|
Lord, what did I say?
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
