Lyrics
{Verse 1}
I found myself in my home town,
The town where I was born.
My old house stood empty,
Empty and forlorn.
{Verse 2}
A sign outside said danger,
Keep out don't step inside.
But I was looking at a special house
I was looking at the house that died.
(Chorus)
When that old house was living,
There was so much love inside.
I can't believe that the house I loved
Is now the house that died.
{Verse 3}
I stepped inside and went through rooms,
Rooms that once held life.
Memories filled most every room.
Teardrops filled my eyes.
(Chorus)
When that old house was living,
There was so much love inside.
I can't believe that the house I loved
Is now the house that died.
(Bridge}
Nothing lasts forever.
Nothing stays the same.,
Except for maybe memories.
The pleasure and the pain.
(Chorus)
When that old house was living,
There was so much love inside.
I can't believe that the house I loved
Is now the house that died.
{Tag}
No, I can't believe that the house I loved
Is now the house that died.
