When A House Is Not A Home Lyrics - Roger Miller

I walk up to my door and hate to turn the key 

Emptiness is all that waits inside for me 

That's how it is when the one you love is gone 

That's how it is when your house is not a home 

I look around and see things marked with his and hers 

Things like these just make things that much worse 

That's how it is since I live my life alone 

That's how it is since my house is not a home 

[ steel ] 

Is there a way up for soul so torn as mine 

Each day I live I'm like a prisoner passin' time 

That's how it is ask anyone who lives alone 

That's how it is when your house is not a home
