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
