home is where the heartbreak is

we should've lit a book of matches

should've burned it down to dirt

left forever in the ashes with those rings that didn't work

now the teardrops in the carpet and fiction in the frames

just sit there on that cul-de-sac like a monument to pain

home is where the heartbreak is

where do you go when all that you know

has slipped right through your fingertips?

love found somewhere else to live

it took what we had

it ain't comin' back

now home is where the heartbreak is

there's a roof over this barstool

comfort in this glass

when they kick me out

it's gonna hurt to feel the past

and that empty bedroom where we made love

is still haunted by all the ghosts of us

and i can't face it now

i just can't face it now

home is where the heartbreak is

where do you go when all that you know

has slipped right through your fingertips?

love found somewhere else to live

it took what we had

it ain't comin' back

now home is where the heartbreak is

(heartbreak

heartbreak is

heartbreak

heartbreak is

heartbreak

heartbreak is)

oh

sadness ain't much of an address

it's all that you left me with

instead of a goodbye kiss

home is where the heartbreak is

where do you go when all that you know

has slipped right through your fingertips?

love found somewhere else to live

it took what we had

it ain't comin' back

now home is where the heartbreak is

where the heartbreak is

where the heartbreak is

don't wanna go home

but i can't stay here

where the heartbreak is

where the heartbreak is

now home is where the heartbreak is
