Completely Empty

Did it make sense at the time?
Was he charming and travelled and wise?
Did you enjoy the way you felt when you brought out his softer side...
Did the world stop moving for a moment when you saw two lines?
Was the wedding beautiful? Were you laughing on the way to the hall?
Did no one make a comment on the few years' gap because it doesn't matter "if as you're both sure"
For better or for worse, for rich or for poor

(Chorus)
And now you're stuck in a house where the walls cry
And the silence is alive with all the years gone by
Do you ever stop and realise you still feel twenty?
Do you ever stop and realise he feels completely empty?

Could you see him in their eyes, as soon as they learned how to fight?
And are you scared to disagree because they might be right?
And you know he'll one you up when they see him tomorrow night
Ten years is a long time atoning for his sins
Tell the Lord and tell your elders that you still love him
But do you tell them bout the nights when you don't recognise him?
When he gets that fire in his eyes and you realise you're alone
It isn't normal for that fear to live in your own home

(Chorus)

Have you made your peace with it, have you settled down?
And all the things you never did, do they feel stupid now?
But tell me the truth; if you saw her again,
Look me in the eyes and swear you wouldn't say "run away"
You wouldn't tell her to wait?
Wait
Just wait.
