Chris Michaud - House of Stolen Things Lyrics

How did we get to this
It all seems wrong
We built a house of stolen things

How dare I call it home
You wander 'round like a ghost
So many words I'd love to say to you
Don't fit now
Just don't fit

We could try as we could
But it would still go wrong
Remember timing is everything
We'll do all that we can
To build it up strong
But it won't last long
When it's built on hope
And nothing more

Watch as you just fade away
A shade of yourself
What little of the light remains these days

All the things I promised you
We could never make come true
We tried everything we could
But it all started out wrong

We could try as we could
But it would still go wrong
Remember timing is everything
We'll do all that we can
To build it up strong
But it won't last long
When it's built on hope
And nothing more

I rest my head on this pillow
I'm not the only one in this room
But I feel so alone
All of the dreams that I've had as of late
I'll try, and I'll try
But they'll just have to wait

What if I said
There could be a better way
I don't think that you would believe
At this point, at this stage

I'll eat my words
So they remain unheard
I'm losing this battle
And I'm losing this war, too

We could try as we could
But it would still go wrong
Remember timing is everything
We'll do all that we can
To build it up strong
But it won't last long
When it's built on hope
And nothing more
