This House Is Empty Now

These rooms play tricks upon you
 Remember when they were always filled with laughter?
 But now they're quite deserted
 They seem to just echo voices raised in anger
 Maybe you will see my face
 Reflected there on the pane
 In the window of our poor
 Forlorn and broken home
 Still this house is empty now
 There's nothing I can do to make you want to stay
 So tell me how
 Am I supposed to live without you?
 These walls were lined with pictures
 Remember the glass we charged in celebration?
 But now I fill my life up
 With all that I can to deaden this sensation
 Do you recognize the face
 Fixed in that fine silver frame
 Were you really so unhappy then?
 You never said
 So this house is empty now
 There's nothing I can do to make you want to stay
 So tell me how
 Am I supposed to live without you?
 Oh, if I could just become forgetful
 When night seems endless
 Does the extinguished candle care
 About the darkness?
 It's funny how my memory
 Will bring you so close then make you disappear
 Meanwhile all our friends must choose
 Who they will favour, who they will lose
 Hang the garland high or close the door
 And throw away the key
 This house is empty now
 There's no one living here you have to care about
 This house is empty now
 There's nothing I can do to make you want to stay
 So tell me how
 Am I supposed to live without you?
 This house is empty now
 There's no one living here you have to care about
 This house is empty now
 There's nothing I can do to make you want to stay
 So tell me how
 Am I supposed to live without you?
