Vacant Home

Her old man is always doing the best he can.
Provides for the family he loves endlessly but still they don’t seem to connect.
His oldest born girl is now a mother to her own but he’s raising the children
because she can’t commit.
She shuts out the world with no goodbyes to the kids.
And when you scream her name she hears nothing.
The emptiness inside is growing.
She can’t hide from the feeling when it’s written in her eyes.
She’s fading but she’ll tell you that she’s fine.
He’s a good man.
Sure he made a few mistakes but he doesn’t deserve this.
No he doesn’t deserve this.
In his eyes she’s still pretty but to the world she looks empty.
It’s hard for him to face the fact that «home ain’t where home used to be»
You’re not coming home because home ain’t where home used to be.
And when you scream her name she hears nothing.
The emptiness inside is growing.
She can’t hide from the feeling when it’s written in her eyes.
She’s fading but she’ll tell you that she’s fine.
When she tells you that she’s fine don’t believe it.
