I walk up to my door and hate to turn the key   Emptiness is all that's left 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   Things like these just seem to 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'm living 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
