If all the promises could build a house then we'd be home
If every weak and weary sigh could carve the stone
We'd hang our faces on the wall like picture frames
And play our silence like a record filling space
Fill the cracks between the floorboards
With the wasted seconds we swore we would use
But the walls are cracking now
And the foundation's all worn out
What happened here
If all the words I never said could write a book
Talk about all of the chances that I never took
We'd read it over line by line and then again
Sitting in suspense hoping for a happy end
Put it back up on the shelf
That we built up all by ourselves
When our thoughts were clear
But the ink is faded now
And all the pages are torn out
What happened here
Funny how a single thought
Can swallow you whole
Oh and how you never feel like
You own your soul
Funny how a single thought
Can swallow you whole
Maybe in ten years
Won't even be here
I'd hate to have wasted
What I tried to hold near
