It's not me that you speak to when you're talking in your sleep. It's not me I can tell by all the secrets that you keep. It's not me you're always dreaming of oh how it hurts to know which your new love.
If this house could talk oh what a story although it's only made of wood and stone. How it could brag about its days of glory when it almost became a happy home.
An acre of diamonds I'd offered to you a solid gold mansion an airplane or two. This world would be yours dear to have and to hold. If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.
