lyrics

THE OLD HOUSE
(B Liddiard)

I went back to the old house the other day
I knew it was a mistake
but I went anyway
what did I expect from that old set of walls?
they just looked back at me and said
nothing at all.

It's not the same
no, it's a different place
no-one would ever know
that we had lived in this space.

There's just tarmac now where your roses grew
and a broken window in the upstairs room
it's easy to see that the people inside
they don't care for that house
they've got no sense of pride.

It's not the same
no, it's a different place
no-one would ever know
that we had lived in this space.

So it's true – there's no going back
what's done is done and we can never change that
it's safer to stay with your sweet memory
than to hope for the past to set you free.

It's not the same
no, it's a different place
no-one would ever know
that we had lived in this space.
