Ahhhh, a fresh, new analogy to "breaking up". This is fun, funny and upbeat while being saturated with sorrow!

VERSE 1.
Our love lite a fire most every night
Till our bed became the site to the Saturday fights
When you left me for good
Sneaking off in the dark
Our castle turned back
Into a trailer park
CHORUS
If my heart was a house
It would be falling apart
If my heart was a house
All the rooms would be dark
There’d be leaks in the ceiling
And cracks in the cement
And the tears I’ve cried
Would flood the basement
If my heart was a house
It my heart was a house
VERSE 2.
We used to live like royalty
We thought a house on the hill was all we would need
But, that changed back
To a broken-down shack
When you packed up your love
In your old Cadillac
REPEAT CHORUS
If my heart was a house
It would be falling apart
If my heart was a house
All the rooms would be dark
There’d be leaks in the ceiling
And cracks in the cement
And the tears I’ve cried
Would flood the basement
If my heart was a house
It my heart was a house
BRIDGE:
The gutters would be clogged with old memories
The hearth would be cold and the well would be empty
But, starting right now I’m gonna build a new heart, just for me ...... ‘cause
REPEAT CHORUS
If my heart was a house
It would be falling apart
If my heart was a house
All the rooms would be dark
There’d be leaks in the ceiling
And cracks in the cement
And the tears I’ve cried
Would flood the basement
If my heart was a house
It my heart was a house
