These rooms play tricks upon you
Remember when they were
always filled with laughter
But now they're quite deserted,
they seem to just echo
voices raised in anger
Maybe you will see my face
reflected there on the pane
In the window, far above,
alone in a broken home
Still this house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
to make you want to stay
So tell me,
how am I supposed to live without you?
These walls were lined with pictures,
remember?
The glass we charged in celebration
But now I fill my life up
with all that I can
to deaden this sensation
Do you recognize the face fixed
in that fine silver frame?
Were you really so unhappy
there you never said?
So this house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
to make you want to stay
So tell me,
how am I supposed to live without you?
Oh, if I could just become forgetful
When the night seems endless
Does the extinguished candle
care about the darkness?
It's funny how the memory
will bring you so close and make
you disappear
Meanwhile, all our friends must choose
Who they will favor, who they will lose
Hang the garland high, or close the door,
or throw away the key
This house is empty now,
there's no one living here
you have to care about
This house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
to make you want to stay
So tell me how am I supposed
to live without you?
This house is empty now
There's no one living here
You have to care about
This house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
to make you want to stay
So tell me how
Am I supposed to live without you?
You
