[Verse 1]
The screen door creaks, the porch light's out,
Shadows crawl where dreams once shout.
An empty house, a hollow shell,
It used to hold a love that fell.
[Prechorus]
And the clock keeps ticking, but the time don’t heal,
The ache of absence, the pain that’s real.
[Chorus]
When love don’t live here no more,
It’s a boarded-up heart, with a locked front door.
Get you a trick, if that’s what it takes,
But broke pockets make broken hearts ache.
Yeah, broke pockets make broken hearts ache.
[Verse 2]
Whiskey whispers from a chipped glass rim,
Memories float, but none of them swim.
A jukebox hums in the corner bar,
But it won’t fill the cracks or heal the scars.
[Prechorus]
And the neon flickers, but it don’t bring light,
To a soul that’s stranded in the dead of night.
[Chorus]
When love don’t live here no more,
It’s a boarded-up heart, with a locked front door.
Get you a trick, if that’s what it takes,
But broke pockets make broken hearts ache.
Yeah, broke pockets make broken hearts ache.
