The house went quiet tonight Your picture still on the wall Two little shoes by the door But you’re not here at all I walk through rooms full of echoes Every chair where you used to be And every step I take tonight Feels like it’s breaking me I thought love was something That time couldn’t tear apart Now everything is falling down Right before my eyes And the silence in this house tonight Is louder than our fights I’m holding on for the children Trying to stay strong somehow But when the night gets heavy I don’t know how They asked me where you went today I didn’t know what to say Just told them sometimes grown-up hearts Don’t always find their way And when they finally fall asleep I sit here in the dark Wondering how a love so bright Could break this hard I never thought tomorrow Would look like this tonight Now everything is falling down Right before my eyes And the silence in this house tonight Is louder than our fights I’m holding on for the children Trying to stay strong somehow But when the night gets heavy I don’t know how If love could hear me calling From the wreckage of this pain I’d ask it just one question… How did we lose our way? Everything is falling down But I’ll stand here anyway For the little hands that need me Every single day And maybe someday slowly These broken pieces start To build a little shelter For this heart But tonight the house is quiet… And it hurts.
