A House Without Love Is Not a Home
Discovering the Heartache of a Loveless Home
Lyrics
For years we both have lived on pride, dear
Both partners have relied on their pride for many years.
And we agree that love is gone
They acknowledge that love between them has disappeared.
Why, oh, why do we keep trying?
Despite the absence of love, they continue to make an effort to salvage the relationship.
A house without love is not a home
The singer emphasizes that a dwelling lacking love cannot truly be called a home.
The love light in your eyes has faded
The affectionate look in the partner's eyes has vanished.
And I'm contented just to roam
The singer is now satisfied with wandering or being alone.
We slaved to gain a worthless treasure
They worked hard to attain something (possibly materialistic) that turned out to be valueless.
A house without love is not a home
Reiterating that a home lacking love is devoid of real value.
No matter where our footsteps wander
Regardless of where they go, the couple is destined to be alone.
I know we'll both be all alone
Expressing the inevitability of loneliness due to the pride that created a rift.
With the pride that came between us
Their separation is fueled by the pride that caused a divide between them.
A house without love is not a home
Reiterating the central theme that a house lacking love is not a true home.
The simple things have gone forever
Emphasizing that simple, meaningful things in their relationship are lost forever.
We wasted wealth to call our own
They wasted their resources on material possessions that did not bring lasting happiness.
Now we've reached the hour of parting
They have now come to the moment of parting ways.
A house without love is not a home
Reiterating that a dwelling without love cannot be considered a genuine home.
