This Empty House
Lament of a Lonely Heart: This Empty House by Doug Stone
Lyrics
Memories, oh memories
Reflecting on memories and their impact
How they gather around
Highlighting the abundance of memories
They've all come to see me
Expressing that memories have gathered around
And tear me down
Feeling emotionally torn down by memories
So many years, of lovin all gone
Acknowledging the loss of years of love
It's the first time that I've ever felt so alone
Experiencing profound loneliness for the first time
This empty house, is really hittin home tonight
Emphasizing the impact of an empty house
All my friends say
Receiving advice from friends to move forward
I must carry on
Encouragement to continue despite the pain
But it's a hell of a load
Acknowledging the heavy emotional burden
To carry along
Expressing the difficulty of carrying on alone
How can I win this battle
Questioning how to overcome the emotional struggle
When I lost the will to fight
Admitting a loss of the will to fight
Nothings the same
Highlighting the profound change since the departure
Since she went away
Expressing the difficulty of coping with the absence
It's all I can do
Struggling to move forward in daily life
To get by these days
Adapting to life without the presence of a loved one
This empty house, is really hittin home tonight
Reiterating the impact of the empty house
Nightmares, oh these nightmares
Describing lingering nightmares as remnants of a dream
All thats left of a dream
Highlighting the persistence of haunting nightmares
Sleepness nights, with endless days inbetween
Describing sleepless nights and endless days
That old picture on the mantel
Referring to a challenging memory displayed on the mantel
Oh its more then I can handle
Expressing difficulty in coping with a particular memory
This empty house, is really hittin home tonight
Reiterating the impact of the empty house
All my friends say
Receiving advice from friends to move forward
I must carry on
Encouragement to continue despite the pain
But it's a hell of a load
Acknowledging the heavy emotional burden
To carry along
Expressing the difficulty of carrying on alone
How can I win this battle
Questioning how to overcome the emotional struggle
When I lost the will to fight
Admitting a loss of the will to fight
Nothings the same
Highlighting the profound change since the departure
Since she went away
Expressing the difficulty of coping with the absence
It's all I can do
Struggling to move forward in daily life
To get by these days
Adapting to life without the presence of a loved one
This empty house, is really hittin home tonight
Reiterating the impact of the empty house
Oh this empty house, is hittin home tonight
Emphasizing the lasting impact of the empty house
