Lyrics

VERSE
There was no writing on the wall, at first, that I could see
But that love will take a fall now seems as plain as it could be
She’s going through the emotions of a love story on the rocks
But where once there was devotion
Now looks for all the world to see like a pine box

CHORUS
(Now) (Yes) I’m playing to an empty house
While she waits in the wings for me to leave
I just can’t keep on with the make believe
Playing to an empty house

VERSE
I’m trying hard to revive a love that now seems so dead and gone
I guess I just can’t do enough, so I suppose I’ll be moving on
I hope she finds what it is she’s looking for
And while I don’t want to leave like this
I just can’t play to an empty house anymore

Repeat CHORUS

BRIDGE
There was time when she was mine and the love was S-R-O
If that love has come and gone, then it’s time for me to go

Repeat CHORUS (2x)

TAG
I just can’t keep playing to an empty house
