Since you left I can't stay sober
|
And I've let the grass grow over
|
Those pretty flowers that you planted when we moved in
|
And the paint has started peeling
|
Down the hall, along the ceiling
|
Above the busted frame your picture's hangin in.
|
|
And the carpet's wearin through, where I dragged around these blues
|
And the curtain's torn in two, from me lookin out for you
|
Once we held it all together, but I can't do it on my own
|
This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home.
|
|
Our TV won't get no picture
|
There's no lightbulb in the fixture
|
In our bedroom where you used to love on me
|
All the memories that we once shared
|
They're all locked forever in there
|
'Cause I locked the door and I can't find the key.
|
|
And the carpet's wearin through, where I dragged around these blues
|
And the curtain's torn in two, from me lookin out for you
|
Once we held it all together, but I can't do it on my own
|
This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home.
|
|
This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home...
