I walked up to my door and hate to turn the key   Emptiness is all that waits inside for me   That's how it is when the one you love is gone   That's how it is when your house is not a home      I look around and see things marked with 'His' and 'Hers'   Little things like this just make things that much worse   That's how it is since I live my life alone   That's how it is since my house is not a home      Is there a way out for a soul so torn as mine?   Each day I live I'm like a prisoner, passing time   That's how it is, ask anyone who lives alone   That's how it is when your house is not a home   That's how it is when your house is not a home
