This House Is Empty
Tom Shear
These walls are bare
This house is empty
The floors are worn
The finish dulled
These empty rooms
Once rang with promise
They’re silent now
The light has lulled
[Chorus 4x]
Burn it down
The sleepless nights
That I once suffered
Can stay behind
I’ll leave them here
No use for pain
Or lonely hours
To weigh me down
My path is clear
[Chorus 4x]
This door is closed
And locked behind me
The curtains drawn
One final time
Said my goodbyes
I cried an ocean
I’ll lick my wounds
In fairer climes
[Chorus 4x]
