Empty Houses - A Foreign Affair

There was a smile, and wave

Over other signals

While you dug your grave

Underneath the floorboards

Asking God to show his face

So we could fill the empty space

Spending your nights alone

Staring at the ceiling

Trapped inside our mind

A prisoner to believing that

The world would shut you out

When you did it all yourself

And we are done

I’ll burn out

From all the pain you kept inside

All of the pain you hid behind

You hid behind

Now there’s an empty house

Four walls falling down

Just like the hollow shelf

You would step all around it

All your things are in the street

In a box that’s labelled free

Spending your nights alone

Staring at the ceiling

Trapped inside your mind

A prisoner to believing that

The world would shut you out

When you did it all yourself

And we are done

I’ll burn out

From all the pain you kept inside

All of the pain you hid behind

And you can quit

And leave your life

From all the pain you kept inside

All of the pain you hid behind

You hid behind

You kept your faith

But you lost your hope

You tied the knot

But you cut the rope

And when you listened to God he never spoke

And you can quit

And leave your life

From all the pain you kept inside

The pain you hid behind

You hid behind
