[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe you will see my face reflected there on the pane
In the window of our poor forlorn and broken home

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you recognize the face fixed in that fine silver frame?
Were you really so unhappy then? You never said

[Chorus]
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?
[Bridge]
Oh, if I could just become forgetful when night seems endless
Does the extinguished candle care about the darkness?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
It's funny how my memory
Will bring you so close then make you disappear

[Pre-Chorus]
Meanwhile all our friends must choose who they will favor, who they will lose
Hang the garland high or close the door and throw away the key

[Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
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?
