You thought by now that you'd be farther than you should
You'd see your name up in the lights of Hollywood
Using your fortune to do the worlds good just like Oprah

But now your barefoot pregnant lying on the floor
He's says he's leaving while he's walking out the door
You've been downtrodden yet your begging him for more misunderstanding

Chorus:
The houses we have haunted
A long long time ago
The houses we have haunted
Are buried in the snow

Sometimes you feel like you could just let go and scream
And let the sound reverberate amongst the beams
To be absorbed like some bad reoccurring dream
That plays forever

Though the emotions and the pain can be intense
Sometimes you need to breathe and find the common sense
The walls can go but you could build a better fence
To keep the dogs out

Chorus:

When you feel bad, you need loving
When you feel sad, you need hope to carry on
Though it's cold outside, soon it's thawing
Though it's grey inside, soon the sun will shine again

You built a house that was made of mud and sticks
With thorny vines grown between the broken bricks
They sting a little but it's just a little prick you learned to live with

But you should know that the foundation cannot last
You need to start again by sweeping up the past
May I suggest you get a window made of glass to let the sun in?

Chorus:
