I walk up to my door and hate to turn the key Emptiness is all that waits inside for me That's how it is when the one you love is gone That's how it is when your house is not a home [ guitar ] I look around and see things marked his and hers Little things like this just make things that much worse That's how it is when you live your life alone That's how it is when your house is not a home [ guitar ] Is there a way up for soul so torn as mine Each day I live I'm like a prisoner passin' time That's how it is ask any man who lives alone That's how it is when your house is not a home
