Lyrics This House Is Empty Now - Samantha Barks

These rooms play tricks upon you
Remember when they were always filled with laughter
But now they're quite deserted
They seem to just echo voices raised in anger

Maybe you will see my face
Reflected there on the pane
In the window of our poor forlorn and broken home
Still this house is empty now

There's nothin' I can do to make you want to stay
So tell me how am I supposed to live without you

These walls were lined with pictures
Remember the glass we charged in celebration
But now I fill my life up
With all that I can to deaden this sensation

Do you recognize the face
Fixed in that fine silver frame?
Were you really so unhappy there?
You never said, so this house is empty now

There's nothing I can do to make you want to stay
So tell me how am I supposed to live without you

Oh, if I could just become forgetful
When night seems so endless
Does the extinguished candle
Care about the darkness?

It's funny how the memory
Will bring you so close then make you disappear
Meanwhile all our friends must choose
Who they will favor, who they'll lose

Hang the garland high or close the door
And throw away the key, this house is empty now
There's no one livin' here, you have to care about
This house is empty now

There's nothing I can do to make you want to stay
So tell me how am I supposed to live without you
