Well there's an empty space it's the place at the table

Where we would start each day

If i could quit shaking long enough

I could almost hear you say

Oh my love oh my love

Yeah i wanted to get for you just a small gift

But all my pocket change was taken

Then i wanted to become for you your favorite gift

Then my heart got close to breaking

Tear it all down tear it all down

What's there left to say

Tear it all down tear it all down

Turn around and walk away

Walk away

It's a flimsy reason at best but a reason's a reason none the less

And i need one to hold on to this wheel

And if i hold my breath long enough

Honey a kiss is what i want to steal

Through the lies of facts that we marshall to attack

Each other's wounded little hearts

And then comes the hard sell you try to make to yourself

But kid you know it's your own fault

Yeah and for all that you learn you're still a sad piece of work

And there's just no getting around

The world's just victims and we're playing fast and loose

But now you know the real truth
