Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your coat on the kitchen chair One sleeve turned inside out I found your keys beside the sink Still wondering what they're for now The coffee went cold by half past ten Rain pressed hard against the pane I kept your number in my hand But never made the call again [Chorus] I can't make peace with an empty room Or teach my heart to lie Every road i take runs back to you No matter how i try If love is a debt, i'm paying still With every breath i lose I built these walls to keep you out Now they're all i have to use [Verse 2] Your photograph is by the stairs Beneath the chipped blue frame I turn it down when company comes Then turn it up again The old dog waits beside the gate Though you haven't crossed it in years I say your name into the yard And hear it break apart in tears [Chorus] I can't make peace with an empty room Or teach my heart to lie Every road i take runs back to you No matter how i try If love is a debt, i'm paying still With every breath i lose I built these walls to keep you out Now they're all i have to use [Bridge] Maybe someday i'll forgive the door For closing when you went Maybe i'll stop counting all the ways A good thing got misspent But tonight the house is holding on To every word we knew And the only truth i can't outrun Is i still belong to you [Final chorus] I can't make peace with an empty room Or teach my heart to lie Every road i take runs back to you No matter how i try If love is a debt, i'm paying still With every breath i lose I built these walls to keep you out Now they're all i have to use Yes, i built these walls to keep you out Now they're all i have to lose [Outro] Your coat is still on the kitchen chair And morning's coming through I leave the keys beside the sink In case you come back too
