I walk up to my door
And hate to turn the key
Emptiness is all
That waits inside for me
That's how it is
When the one you love is gone
That's how it is
When your house is not a home
I look around and see things marked
With his and hers
Things like these just seem to make things
That much worse
That's how it is
Since I live my life alone
That's how it is
Since my house is not a home
Is there a way up
For a soul so torn as mine
Each day I live
I'm like a prisoner passing time
That's how it is
Ask anyone who lives alone
That's how it is
When your house is not a home
