Empty Ground

Isn't it tragic, isn't it hopeless

It was so perfect, until it was broken

A shiny new house up on top of the hill

But lord knows I was born a stray

Not the kind to stick around in a stick around town

But for you I would've stayed

For you I would've stayed

We watched the wallpaper peel and the floorboards fall

You claimed that I gave no signs but didn't you see what I saw

Cause baby we were gold, but the gold's run out

And I promised I'd never be a ghost in your town

So maybe I won't stick around
