An empty house is the only thi ng standing

Between our lives and the speed of sound

Some words flew out and made a crash landing

No love survived - not a trace could be found

And I broke your heart with the back of my mind

From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line

I walked away and you stood there trembling

Like a leaf in the autumn chill

Now this house won't say, no, what I'm still remembering

Three angry words and a love that they killed

And I broke your heart with the back of my mind

From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line

And you couldn't say how much it hurt you

And I couldn't see the damage I'd done

Till I watched the greatest love I've known

All come down to a slip of the tongue

Well I'd take it back but time won't let me

Oh time just takes you further away

I watched you pack a house full of memories

Where did you go? Lord, what did I say?

And I broke your heart with the back of my mind

From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line

From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line

From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line
