I built this house
After all these years
It's a place that I can call my own
Hide away from all my fears
It took so long
To build it stone by stone
Until you came along to make me strong
I couldn't do it on my own
You've gone away
But I'll still leave the porch light on
And if you find another place
Just to lay your head tonight
I will lie awake till the dawn
Just to know that you're still gone
So why you givin' up on me
And your entire family
When it's all you ever wanted
When you promised me that ring
What ever happened to those vows
That you told me once before
When you said that you would love me
For richer and for poor
For sickness and in health
Because you wanted no one else
That's why you pledged yourself to me
Why won't you just talk to me
So we can work things out
We used to dream
And we used to laugh
What ever happened to those things
Things that money can't buy back
It's not a feeling
Of the attraction
Don't you know that love is an action
So won't you try
Won't you try
Won't you try a little more
Before you go and walk out that door
