I'VE BUILT A MANSION
VERSE #1:
They say silence is golden and unspoken thoughts can't be measured.
If a last long look is priceless then you've left me with untold treasures.
A working man couldn't keep you, now you're a rich man's dream.
But I've built a mansion from what's left of you and me.
CHORUS:
The goodbye note you left made it crystal clear.
You've put the sparkle in my falling tears.
But the diamonds in your eyes made you too blind to see.
And I've built a mansion from what's left of you and me.
VERSE #2:
There's a goldmine on the table where you left your wedding ring.
The closet is a satin shrine with all of your soft things.
The walls are full of pictures, they're timeless memories.
I've built a mansion from what left of you and me.
(REPEAT CHORUS)

The porch light is on and I feel it welcoming me inside.
Another wasted night with wasted people in an all night dive.

Being alone
On the streets
Of homelessness
Is a jail of
Humanity
That is walking
Lonely
The winds are pushing away
The lonely man
