Dust motes dance in morning light
Empty coffee cups beside the bed
Another day another fight
Words unspoken better left unsaid
We built this house on shifting sand
Thought love could hold the walls up tall
Now just a ghost of what we planned
Waiting for the first brick to fall
That old porch swing just creaks and groans
Like memories whispering in the breeze
Were walking on these hollow bones
Searching for some kind of ease
Oh the growing pains in broken vows
Every crack a lesson learned too late
How do you mend a love that bows
Underneath the heavy hand of fate
These roots we planted deep and strong
Now withered leaves upon the ground
Where did we go so terribly wrong
Lost the sweet music lost the sound
The records spinning a sad tune
Familiar melodies sting my ears
Wishing on an empty moon
Trying to dry these endless tears
Used to laugh until we cried
Now silence echoes in the halls
Theres nowhere left for us to hide
Before the final curtain calls
That old porch swing just creaks and groans
Like memories whispering in the breeze
Were walking on these hollow bones
Searching for some kind of ease
Oh the growing pains in broken vows
Every crack a lesson learned too late
How do you mend a love that bows
Underneath the heavy hand of fate
These roots we planted deep and strong
Now withered leaves upon the ground
Where did we go so terribly wrong
Lost the sweet music lost the sound
Maybe some things just aren't meant to last
Like summer storms that fade to gray
We held on tight we held on fast
But watch it crumble day by day
Oh the growing pains in broken vows
Every crack a lesson learned too late
How do you mend a love that bows
Underneath the heavy hand of fate
These roots we planted deep and strong
Now withered leaves upon the ground
Where did we go so terribly wrong
Lost the sweet music lost the sound
