In this house there is still room
For both me and for you
What used to be considered one
Has become a separate two

What thoughts we had about our future
Now is no more than the past
Would it be weird to still call you dear
Or would you rather that not be said

I find it hard to break old habits
Especially when it comes to us
Sad to say but you won't let it
Turn back to a case of love

Just in case you haven't noticed
I struggle deeply in my sleep
This bed we shared now feels so empty
Without you curled next to me

While we share the same tin roof
Of this house minus a home
Separate individuals
Little wonder it feels so alone

I thought together we could make it
There and past the ends of time
We still might with added heartache
Now that you're no longer mine

In this house where all I do
Is consider me, without you
What used to be thought of as one
Has now become a separate two
This has nothing to do with me,
just thinking about couples that can no longer stay married
but still live under the same roof. Seems so sad...
