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 I look around and see things marked with his and hers Little things like this just make things that much worse That's how it is ask anyone who lives alone That's how it is when your house is not a home [ guitar - keyboards ] Is there a way out on a heart as torn as mine Each day I live I'm like a prisoner passing time That's how it is when the one you love is gone That's how it is when your house is not a home That's how it is when your house is not a home
