Lyrics
[verse]
There's a silence at the table again tonight
Casting shadows where we used to keep the light
I hear the voices through the kitchen wall
Pretending that I can't hear them at all
[chorus]
Tell me it ain't so, tell me it's a lie
Tell me this old house won't fall apart tonight
I'm holding on to something I can't name
Praying that we won't end up the same
[verse]
I found the letters in the bottom drawer
Old promises that don't add up anymore
I used to think our love was built to last
Now I'm just circling the wreckage of the past
[chorus]
Tell me it ain't so, tell me it's a lie
Tell me this old house won't fall apart tonight
I'm holding on to something I can't name
Praying that we won't end up the same
[bridge]
I swore I'd never walk this road
The one that carried all that I was told
But here I am with the same old fear
Wishing that the truth was easier to hear
[chorus]
Tell me it ain't so, tell me it's a lie
Tell me this old house won't fall apart tonight
I'm holding on to something I can't name
Praying that we won't end up the same
