She's crying on the phone Miles between us, but she's still my home I hear it in her tone I know she's getting tired of being alone
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder But I can't break her heart much longer
So don't come home, just stay out 'Cause there ain't nothing left for you here now Just a memory of a spark That lit a flame inside my heart 'Cause it's all smoke and embers now 'Cause it's all smoke and embers now
He's lying on the phone Saying, "Baby, just a few more shows" And when he comes back home No, he ain't the man I used to know
Distance makes the heart grow fonder He can't break my heart much longer
So don't come home, just stay out 'Cause there ain't nothing left for you here now Just a memory of a spark That lit a flame inside my heart 'Cause it's all smoke and embers now 'Cause it's all smoke and embers now
All our walls are empty No pictures on the shelf All we've got's our memories Of before it went to hell
It's all smoke and embers now It's all smoke and embers now 'Cause it's all smoke and embers now 'Cause it's all smoke and embers now
So don't come home, just stay out 'Cause there ain't nothing left for us here now
