Empty Rooms

He's left her alone with an empty womb
A beautiful house full of empty rooms
He's left behind everything
Left her feeling nothing

Her eyes stay dry and her hands don't shake
The days roll by but her heart won't break
She wishes it would, she'd float away in the flood
She wishes it would, she'd float away in the flood

She picks up the paper but the words are blurred
And she thinks about writing down the way that they were
He's left her with everything
She feels like being nothing

Her eyes stay dry and days still break
The years roll by but her heart won't ache
She knows that it should, she'd float away in the flood

And how do we get it, what we need to get it?
How can she feel for what's real?
The story she told herself folded in on itself
Is there a hurt that can heal?
'Cause it's old, hidden and torn
It's as dark in this moment as the day she was born
Old, hidden and torn
It's as dark when it's over as the day we are born

Her eyes won't cry and her hands don't shake
The years roll by but her heart won't break
She wishes it would, she'd float away in the flood
She wishes it would, she'd float away in the flood
She wishes it would, she'd float away

He's left her alone with an empty womb
A beautiful house full of empty rooms
