A love is like a house And we had ours But this seems so far away The walls were so high They kept us safely inside I just wanted to stay But then came a time When you had made up your mind I had to watch you go And a ruin remained Up to this very day It's time to tear down the walls It's like carving deep scars in my skin But I don't feel any pain I burn down this house from the inside And I feel like falling asleep It's getting harder to breathe But I'm not going to leave until the fire is out A love is like a house And we had ours But this is long ago And a ruin remained Up to this very day It's time to tear down the walls It's like carving deep scars in my skin But I don't feel any pain I burn down this house from the inside And I feel like falling asleep It's getting harder to breathe But I'm not going to leave until the fire is out I've waited much too long To do what must be done It is time for letting go When a river has run dry Everything around will die And it's the best to move on It's like carving deep scars in my skin But I don't feel any pain I burn down this house from the inside And I feel like falling asleep It's getting harder to breathe But I'm not going to leave until the fire is out
