Lyrics:
Here I sit in the quiet love we built for two
No one lives here anymore, there's no trace of things that lovers do
Was it right to abandon a place we once held dear
It's so tragic to think that it's empty 'cause of fear
Can you pinpoint a time when the vines they took their hold
Or how long we were sick from the hidden toxic mold
Was it right to imagine a life beyond these walls
Breathe fresh air, hear the birds, and touch the waterfalls
It's too bad that our last days ended up that way
Every laugh sent straight to jail, "life without bail" the judge proclaimed
And as I look at this empty love I've gotta say
Before the torture of that year, I did have happy days
When it started to crumble the first thing on your mind
That I caused it to rumble and all the blame was mine
Was it right to run out of there oh just in time
Watched it go up in flames and all I did was cry
It's too bad that our last days ended up that way
Every laugh sent straight to jail, "life without bail" the judge proclaimed
And as I leave this empty love I've gotta say
Before the torture of that year, I did have happy days
Is this the break up song that you asked for
Packaged and pretty, topped with a neat bow
Meanwhile I'm freefallin' down a sink hole
Look up to at eyes of a boy who's heart was a no show
The break up song that you asked for
Packaged and pretty, topped with a neat bow
Meanwhile I'm freefallin' down a sink hole
Look up to at eyes of a boy who's heart was a no show
It's too bad that our last days ended up that way
Every laugh sent straight to jail, "life without bail" the judge proclaimed
And as I lock up this empty love I've gotta say
That the torture of that year was really not okay
