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
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
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?
