Lyrics
I’m sorry they said/ but this is the end/ pack all your things/ we’ll escort you out/ when you’ve cleared off your desk/ and picked up your paycheck/ we know this must be hard/ we’re sorry/ but this is the end
wet ash/ plastic bags/ when did things get this bad/ you must go on/ you have no choice/ glass bottles hit the ground/ and you drown in that sound/ scream at the walls/ until you’ve lost your voice
I’m sorry she said/ but this has to end/ with tears in her eyes/ she gathered the kids/ took them out to the car/ a suitcase in hand/ you know I still love you/ I’m sorry/ but this has to end
He tracks snow into the house/ then turns around to watch it melt/ walks past a sink of dirty dishes/ puts his keys down on a shelf/ stands in the doorway to the bedroom/ sees the way the winter sunlight falls on her side of the bed and this is hell/ without you here/ this empty house/ ghosts on the stairs/ and don’t I know that this is hell/ without you here
and this is hell/ I’m living here/ these phantom sounds/ an empty kitchen with my coffee getting cold/ I’m living here
I never kept my word/ look what it’s done to you/ look what it’s done to me/ because I couldn’t choose/ what can’t they take from you/ what can’t they take from me I will not accept this as the end you were all I had/ there’s nothing left for me/ when I’m old and alone/ I’ll have myself to blame
