Is the only thing standin'
Between our lives
And the speed of sound
Some words flew out
And made a crash landin'
No love survived
Not a trace could be found
Chorus:
I broke your heart
With the back of my mind
From the tip of my tongue
To the end of the line
I walked away
And you stood there tremblin'
Like a leaf
In the autumn chill
Now this house won't say, no
What I'm still rememberin'
Three angry words
And a love that they killed
Chorus
Bridge:
You couldn't say how much it hurt you
And I couldn't see the damage I'd done
'til I watched the greatest love I've known
All come down to a slip of the tongue
Well I'd take it back
But time won't let me
No, time just takes
You further away
I watched you pack
A house full of memories
Where did you go
Lord, what did I say?
Chorus
An empty house Is the only thing standin' Between our lives And the speed of sound Some words flew out And made a crash landin' No love survived Not a trace could be found Chorus: I broke your heart With the back of my mind From the tip of my tongue To the end of the line I walked away And you stood there tremblin' Like a leaf In the autumn chill Now this house won't say, no What I'm still rememberin' Three angry words And a love that they killed Chorus Bridge: You couldn't say how much it hurt you And I couldn't see the damage I'd done 'til I watched the greatest love I've known All come down to a slip of the tongue Well I'd take it back But time won't let me No, time just takes You further away I watched you pack A house full of memories Where did you go Lord, what did I say?
