How can a man Lie next to a woman A woman who loves him And still feel alone There was a day I lite up your whole world Now the suns hanging low And the skys growing colder I'll close my eyes Pretend this aint a happening I'll close my eyes Those taillights i'll never see I just can't bare To see this house empty As empty as the hole in my chest Where my heart used to be I'll close my eyes So i don't have to watch you leave You left your ring on the dining room table You come home late We don't even fight Once we were lovers Now i hardly know you You turned down the light Night after night I laid by your side I'll close my eyes Pretend this ain't a happening I'll close my eyes And those taillights i'll never see I just can't bear To see this house empty As empty as the whole in my chest Where my heart used to me I'll close my eyes So i don't have to watch you leave I just can't bear to see this house empty As empty as the whole in my chest Where my heart used to be I'll close my eyes So i don't have to watch you leave So i don't have to watch you leave
