No House Is Small Enough to Keep Us Together

It's too many times
That you've tried to leave me
Once by the bottle
And once by the sword
And twice just by cheating

I pick up the pieces
You don't see them
But I'll keep dreaming
Of a fixed love

I remember a time when we spoke
Now I hold you so close, but to you I'm a ghost
Cheers I've cherished to you are unknown
How am I supposed to know, when you're drinking alone?

I worry about the dog
When you forget to feed him
And what do I say
Or explain to the youngest
When your arms are bleeding

Yeah we all still see you
Know what you do
But I'll still pull through
And stay with you

I remember a time when we spoke
Now I hold you so close, but to you I'm a ghost
Cheers I've cherished to you are unknown
How am I supposed to know, when you're drinking alone

And honey, I just want you to know
That I know that I can't understand
But I hope you feel like I feel
When I'm holdin' my hand in your hand
I just wanna know where we stand

I got out the albums
And I see you smiling
And just for a moment
You were happy again
And inside I'm dying

Put away the photos
Hang up your clothes
I call this our home
But you're not here

I remember a time when we spoke
Now I hold you so close, but to you I'm a ghost
Cheers I've cherished to you are unknown
How am I supposed to know, when you're drinking alone?

"Well, I tried quite a few times"
"Why did you try so persistently to take your own life?"
"I was just desperate and I didn't
I couldn't face things that had come up
So I thought the easy way out
Was to take pills and it would be all over
That's what I did"
