House Of Love

In the kitchen broken dishes on the counter and the floor

In the bedroom is a mattress I won’t sleep on any more

In the bathroom is the perfume that you left behind

In this house there is your memory, a presence that won’t die

A presence that won’t die

I guess I did something wrong

Lost my temper once again

You made this house a home

You were my lady, my lover, and my friend

You were my lady, my lover, my best friend.

We built this house of love for the family that we planned

Two children and a dog, you my woman, me your man

But something went wrong and you lost interest along the way

Now I’m standing here alone wishing that you had stayed

Now I’m standing here alone wishing you were here today.

I guess I did something wrong

Lost my temper once again

You made this house a home

You were my lady, my lover, and my friend

You were my lady, my lover, my best friend.

On the table are your cigarettes they’ve been there for a year

I haven’t moved a single thing, since you disappeared

On the wall there is a stain from the bottle you threw at my head

In the backyard is your body buried in the flower bed

In the backyard is your body buried in the flower bed

I guess I did something wrong

Lost my temper once again

You made this house a home

You were my lady, my  lover, and my friend

You were my lady, my lover, my best friend.

I guess I did something wrong

Lost my temper once again

You made this house a home

You were my lady, my lover, and my friend

You were my lady, my lover, my best friend.

You were my lady, my lover, and my friend

You were my lady, my lover, but now you’re dead
