Lyrics;

This house still shealds away the pourin' rain that falls
But the magic's gone which used to live within these walls
The roses have all bloomed out back in the yard
Just can't believe it's true how she walked out that door
CHORUS;
I'll patch up the wounds
I'll stare down the walls
The silence from all these empty rooms tell it all
'bout a story of a man whose facein' the nights alone
The house still stands, but the home is gone

Our bedroom furniture's left imprints on the floor
I see empty hangers through her open closet door
And through the hall I hear her callin' my name
Since she's been gone only her memory remains

Those words readin' house for sale
Are a sign for the end to start
Each time I drove that stake felt like a dagger through my heart
Repeat Chorus;
The home is gone
