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   Maybe you will see my face   Reflected there on the pane   In the window of our poor   Forlorn and broken home      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?      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      Do you recognize the face   Fixed in that fine silver frame   Were you really so unhappy then?   You never said      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?      Oh, if I could just become forgetful   When night seems endless   Does the extinguished candle care   About the darkness?      It's funny how my mem’ry   Will bring you so close then make you disappear      Meanwhile all our friends must choose   Who they will favour, who they will lose   Hang the garland high or close the door   And throw away the key      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?      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?
