Abandoned House by Kristy Chmura
Verse 1:
Chasing you has worn a hole in my soul... so I'm done asking questions
The fog has lifted and it's clear to see our paths diverged
And dreams of us been left behind submerged in the mist
I'm so tired, from holding on, to all the times you left me
hanging with one hand tied behind my back
I finally see, the grass was always just as green in my backyard.
And I don't want to waste my life raking piles of anger and frustration
Chorus 1:
A house is not a home when your heart’s been left alone,
Collecting dust with forgotten books upon the shelf
And I get tired of gazing through cracked windows, thinking
Do I look through the right side, or keep wondering why I never left
Verse 2:
I can't keep waiting for you at this station, of the crossroads in my life
Will I choose to keep a broken treasure held together with glue
whose pieces don't fit quite as they used to...
Or is it time? maybe it's time
It's time I just let go of this old sentimental toy...
Chorus 2:
A house is not a home when your heart's been left alone
Crumbling, with the front steps where we used to sit
And I get tired of gazing through cracked windows, thinking
Do I look through the right side or keep wondering why I never left...
Bridge:
Time is telling me to shut the door, save your heart before it drowns in poisoned ink.
You've living in an abandoned house overgrown with broken hearts and frozen dreams.
Chorus 3:
This house is not my home, my heart's been left alone,
Sinking, like the wooden floor where we used to dance
And I'm so tired of gazing through cracked windows,
Thinking...
Wondering...
What ever made me think that I could fix this on my own?
