This House

This house, this room
 This bed where we both sacrificed too soon
 One kiss sparked up the past
 Turned a hot night into something that might last
 And you said, "It's alright"
 You said, "It's alright"
 Still, I put up a fight
 We ran just like the wind
 Chasing lightning, and back again
 It seemed so evident
 That we never, ever had a chance to win
 And you said, "It's alright"
 You said, "It's alright"
 Still, I put up a fight
 We gave more than our share
 Expecting nothing but what was fair
 I came so close to tears
 Not even you, alone, could suffer all your fears
 And I said, "It's alright"
 I said, "It's alright"
 Still, you put up a fight
 This house, this room
 This bed that's now all dressed up like a tomb
 No kiss could make it last
 So we resign the pain to just part of the past
 And we say, "It's alright"
 We say, "It's alright"
 No one puts up a fight
