An empty house
Is the only thing standin'
Between our lives
And the speed of soundSome words flew out
And made a crash landin'
No love survived
Not a trace could be foundI broke your heart
With the back of my mind
From the tip of my tongue
To the end of the lineI walked away
And you stood there tremblin'
Like a leaf
In the autumn chillNow this house won't say, no
What I'm still rememberin'
Three angry words
And a love that they killedI broke your heart
With the back of my mind
From the tip of my tongue
To the end of the lineYou couldn't say how much it hurt you
And I couldn't see the damage I'd done
'Til I watched the greatest love I've known
All come down to a slip of the tongueWell I'd take it back
But time won't let me
No, time just takes
You further awayI watched you pack
A house full of memories
Where did you go?
Lord, what did I say?I broke your heart
With the back of my mind
From the tip of my tongue
To the end of the line
