Where Love Used to Live

There's an empty chair beside the window Where you used to sit and watch the rain. Your picture's still hanging in the hallway, But nothing in this house feels the same. I walk these rooms like a stranger, Touching things we left behind. Every corner holds a memory Of a love I can't rewind. Where love used to live, There's an echo and a hole. Where your heart once beat with mine, There's nothing there at all. I can hear our old laughter In the silence of the night. I'm standing in the shadows Where love used to live. The old record still turns slowly, Playing songs we used to know. I pour two glasses out of habit, Then remember you're gone. The walls have heard our sweetest promises, And every word we couldn't keep. Now the house is full of silence, And the silence runs so deep. Where Love used to live, There's an echo and a hole. Where your heart once beat with mine, There's nothing there at all. I can hear our old laughter In the silence of the night. I'm standing in the shadows Where love used to live. Maybe love doesn't disappear, Maybe it just leaves a trace. A little dust upon the memories, A little sadness in a place. I don't need you back forever, I just wish I could go there. To that little piece of yesterday When we were still there. Where love used To live. I'm learning to let go. The room may still remember, But my heart can leave it slow. All the tears I cried here Will someday turn to light. I close the door behind me Where love used to live. The house is quiet, The record stops, And I'm finally walking Away From where love used to live.
