Lyrics
VERSE
We've been together for so many years
Sharing our hearts, trading our fears
Kindling the fire that's kept out the cold
But now the ashes are starting to show
VERSE
Me and the fire spending more time alone
Those short little errands are taking too long
He don't have to tell me; it's easy to see
He's still building fires, but they're not with me
CHORUS
He's makin' her house his second home
My heart is (still) shaking; (it's) cold and alone
I'm scared I can't keep him all to my own
He's makin' her house his second home
SOLO
VERSE
Did I take him for granted? Did I hold him enough?
Did I tell him I love him, show him how much?
He's always been needed, but did I let him know?
I can't help but wonder if he's good as gone
Repeat CHORUS
TAG
He's makin' her house his second home
