[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?

[French Horn 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?

[Outro]
This house is empty now
There's no one living here you have to care about
This house is empty now
This house is empty now
This house is empty now
This house is empty now
