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 up above our poor forlorn   And broken home   Yet 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 there   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 the memory   Will bring you so close then make you disappear   Meanwhile all our friends must choose   Who they will favor, who they will lose   Hang the garland high or close the door   Or 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   This house is empty now   There's nothing i can do   This house is empty now   This house is empty now
