Lyrics
HOUSE OF LOVE
You can take the front door and the back door
Cause love won't come knockin' round here.
You can take the ceiling and the floor
Since you up and left me up against the wall.
Don't need the silverware or the serving set
Ever since you served me with them papers.
Go ahead and take the microwave and the stove
Cause revenge is a supper best served cold.
You can take all our memories
But leave me with some pictures.
Take my heart, my soul
But leave me with a little faith and hope
As we divide this house of love.
We divide this house of love.
You can take the pillows and the bed
I'm not sleeping much these days.
Take the curtains off the windows
Cause I got nothing left to hide.
Take all the mirrors and my eyeglasses
So I won't have to see me cry.
Take the lighting fixtures, all the candles
Since you already left me in the dark.
Whatever happened to this house of love?
This house of love is falling down.
