House

this day is not my life
 the passing time is not my life
 the thorn that's in my side
 is all these scenes that we regret
 the wasted words we can't forget
 through the windows of my room
 i hear the traffic breathing slowly
 someplace miles away
 make promises pay
 shame, will shake this house
 shame, will shake this house
 your dreams are not my life
 these broken words are not my life
 your lies are none of my invention
 your promises were not plan
 now the party girls have gone
 i hear the rattle of their heels
 before their footsteps fade
 make promises pay
 shame, will shake this house
 shame, will shake this house
 ♪
 the passing time is not my life
 i've been counted down and shouted out
 i had everything i wanted
 nothing i can't rise above
 to let it show was not my plan
 headlines and frontpages
 sell weddings and divorces
 make promises pay
 make promises pay
 shame, will shake this house
 shame, will shake this house
