Empty House

Empty House Blues” (Country Blues)

(Verse 1)

I opened my door, I opened my life

Thought we could make it, thought we’d be alright

I gave you my space, I gave you my time

But love started fading somewhere down the line

I tried to fix what was breaking in two

Built up a home, tried to build it for you

But you stayed distant, cold in your way

And I lost myself a little more every day

(Chorus)

Now this house ain’t a home for us no more

Just echoes walking across the floor

No kiss, no laughter, no hand to hold

Just empty silence turning cold

I’m tired of fighting a losing fight

There’s no more us in this lonely night

(Verse 2)

You in your storms, me holding it down

Trying to keep peace when you’re not around

I cleaned up the mess you didn’t see

But none of it ever came back to me

And I don’t even know who you are sometimes

Feels like I’m talking to shadows and signs

Too much distance living under this roof

Too many cracks where there used to be truth

(Chorus)

Now this house ain’t a home for us no more

Just echoes walking across the floor

No kiss, no laughter, no hand to hold

Just empty silence turning cold

I’m done pretending it’s gonna be fine

There’s no more “you and me” in this life of mine

(Bridge – slow blues)

It ain’t that I never tried to stay

I held on longer than words can say

But love don’t grow where it’s all one side

So I let it go, no more tears to hide

(Final Chorus)

Now this house ain’t a home for us no more

I’m closing that chapter, locking the door

No more confusion, no more pain

Just me finding myself again

And if love was real, it lost its way

I’m walking out into a new day
