Intro
Verse 1
I Watched Your First Footsteps
As You Bounced Across My Boards
I Echoed Your Lonely Tears
When Your Heart Longed For More
I Felt The Boxes You Unpacked Before
You Last Left My Door
And Yet, Still Here I Stand
Verse 2
I Feel Your Old Skin
Rest Upon My Timber Floors
I Feel The Dirt Covering Up
All The Memories You Stored
I Feel My Walls Crumble Down
As The Termites Wage Their Wars
And Yet Still Here I Stand
Chorus
The Stories I Could Tell If Anyone Can Hear
Don't Compare To The Life I Had Back When You Were Here
I'm Still Holding My Breath In The Hallway
While I Wait For The Day
You Come Back To Save Me
From All This Damn Decay
Verse 3
My Pipes Still Hum The Melodies
They Heard While You Bathed
The Windows Hold The Memories
Of The Childhood You Saved
The Cracks Allow The Breeze Through
As It Whistles Away The Day
For Now Still Here I Stand
Chorus
The Stories I Could Tell If Anyone Can Hear
Don't Compare To The Life I Had Back When You Were Here
I'm Still Holding My Breath In The Hallway
While I Wait For The Day
You Come Back To Save Me
From All This Damn Decay
Interlude
Verse 4
My Patterns Slowly Faded, As The Papers Began To Fall
The Frames Have Long Since Rotted Through, As Insects Heed Their Call
I'm Trying To Remain Standing, In The Hopes You'll Come Back Home
But It's Been So Long, I Can't Recall Why You Left Me All Alone
Final chorus
Now The Story I Can Tell, To Anyone Who's Here
Is Of A Home So Forgotten, Look Closely, See My Tears
I'll Take A Final Breath Now, And Allow My Bones To Break
And Hope That I Will Be Rebuilt As The Next Home You Make
