[Verse 1]
It's hard to believe that this is the place
Where we were so happy all our lives
Now so empty inside and feelin' no pain
Waitin' for a hammer and a big ball and chain
[Verse 2]
They can tear it all down and build something new
Then only I'll remember what was here
Tomorrow comes easy, just another day gone
How long will I have to keep returning?
[Verse 3]
Now I look back, think I've known all the time
I've been fightin' myself for so long
All the vows that we made, gone for old rags and lumber
Disappear on a cart down the road
It's hard to believe that this is the place
Where we were so happy all our lives
Now so empty inside and feelin' no pain
Waitin' for a hammer and a big ball and chain
[Verse 2]
They can tear it all down and build something new
Then only I'll remember what was here
Tomorrow comes easy, just another day gone
How long will I have to keep returning?
[Verse 3]
Now I look back, think I've known all the time
I've been fightin' myself for so long
All the vows that we made, gone for old rags and lumber
Disappear on a cart down the road
