The door was unlocked, the TV was on
The foundation´s here, but the magic is gone
I let you in, then you let it all decay
The lights are burnt down, the flowers are dead
Somehow I´m still ´supposed to sleep in this bed

Gave you a key, but I couldn´t make you stay

But I´m still glad you came to visit

Love is like a house of fragile things
Where hearts can be broken as easy as antiques
And now there´s glass all shattered at my feet
What we built together, you left in smithereens

I´ll paint all the walls, a fresh coat of blue
But I´ll never cover the memory of you
Watchin´ me sleep, dancin´ on your feet always
I´ll replace the floors, whatever I do
The ghost of you will always live in these rooms
You get to leave, I don´t have that luxury

But I´m still glad you came to visit

Love is like a house of fragile things
Where hearts can be broken as easy as antiques
And now there´s glass all shattered at my feet
What we built together, you left in smithereens

Love is like a house of fragile things
Where hearts can be broken as easy as antiques
And
