(Verse 1)
Empty coffee cups sit by the sink, just like before,
But your side of the bed is cold, you don't sleep here anymore.
I walk these halls, a silent ghost, through rooms that echo loud,
With memories of laughter, now just a lonely cloud.
I see your face in every shadow, hear your voice in every creak,
This silent treatment, it's a torture, week after empty week.
(Chorus)
'Cause love is gone, and I'm just holding on to what used to be,
This house is no longer a home, for you and me.
No more whispered secrets, no more gentle touch,
Just the ghost of "us," and missing you so much.
The feasts are gone, the fights are done, the silence screams instead,
This house is no longer a home, just four walls and a memory in my head.
(Verse 2)
The pictures on the mantelpiece still smile, a frozen lie,
Reminding me of happier times, beneath a bluer sky.
I trace the lines of your old jacket, still draped across the chair,
A cruel reminder of a presence that's no longer there.
I try to move forward, to let go and find my way,
But every path leads back to you, at the close of every day.
(Chorus)
'Cause love is gone, and I'm just holding on to what used to be,
This house is no longer a home, for you and me.
No more whispered secrets, no more gentle touch,
Just the ghost of "us," and missing you so much.
The feasts are gone, the fights are done, the silence screams instead,
This house is no longer a home, just four walls and a memory in my head.
(Bridge)
We built these walls with promises, cemented them with dreams,
Now they're just crumbling ruins, it truly seems.
I rearrange the furniture, hoping for a change,
But every corner holds a ghost, forever out of range.
The future we once painted bright, is now a faded hue,
Just fragments of a broken past, and everything we went through.
(Chorus)
'Cause love is gone, and I'm just holding on to what used to be,
This house is no longer a home, for you and me.
No more whispered secrets, no more gentle touch,
Just the ghost of "us," and missing you so much.
The feasts are gone, the fights are done, the silence screams instead,
This house is no longer a home, just four walls and a memory in my head.
(Outro)
This house, it's just a house now, no warmth, no light, no cheer,
Just the echoes of a love that died, and the phantom of your tear.
Holding on to what used to be... but what used to be is gone.
