House of rubble
As I sit here in the rubble of our relationship
I look around and I seek the walls that have fallen
All the time I thought just if I loved you harder that it would fix it all
And I ignored it
Even when you stopped loving me
I thought I had love for the both of us
And I was wrong
I didn’t see the paint being to peel
Nor the grey outline of all the edges
I ignored it all
When you said things that hurt
When I said things that hurt
We always fixed it
We were supposed to be forever
I didn’t see the rust begin to form in our little house of love
I though a small patch would fix it
A date
Or kisses
Or more love
I loved you as hard as I could
It hurt sometimes
My patch work fixes weren’t good enough
Everything that was built now stands in rubble
And tears
Your gone now
Our house has fallen
And all I can do is want to fix it back up
Maybe if I loved you harder it would have fixed it.
I won’t ever know
Our house is gone
Alone I stand in the rubble
I look around and I seek the walls that have fallen
All the time I thought just if I loved you harder that it would fix it all
And I ignored it
Even when you stopped loving me
I thought I had love for the both of us
And I was wrong
I didn’t see the paint being to peel
Nor the grey outline of all the edges
I ignored it all
When you said things that hurt
When I said things that hurt
We always fixed it
We were supposed to be forever
I didn’t see the rust begin to form in our little house of love
I though a small patch would fix it
A date
Or kisses
Or more love
I loved you as hard as I could
It hurt sometimes
My patch work fixes weren’t good enough
Everything that was built now stands in rubble
And tears
Your gone now
Our house has fallen
And all I can do is want to fix it back up
Maybe if I loved you harder it would have fixed it.
I won’t ever know
Our house is gone
Alone I stand in the rubble
