Sittin alone in a quiet house

Comin apart at the seems

You said you grew lonely and empty inside

I’m learnin now what that means

Maybe if I had been able to read

That far away look in your eye

Tonight I’d be hearing you whisper I love you

Instead of your haunting goodbye

There was a time in the early years

When love had you walking on air

The promise you made and the ring on your finger

Told me you’d always be there

The fool that I am guess I took it for granted

Your heart has turned cold as a stone

I hate to see the sun rise in the morning

Facing my future alone

Sittin alone in a quiet house

Comin apart at the seems

You said you grew lonely and empty inside

I’m learning now what that means

Maybe if I had been able to read

That far away look in your eye

Tonight I’d be hearing you whisper I love you

Instead of your haunting goodbye
