Story Behind The Song
Heartbreak can cause memories to haunt us, and while haunted, we can't heal. Instead it feels as though everything around us is falling down and slowly decaying.

Lyrics
Verse I
If home is where the heart is
Mine is vacant falling down
Dust encrusted boxes,
Faded pictures on the wall
Only the blur of lines are seen
Tarnished frames remain
On cracked and peeling paint
Chorus
Did you love me?
Or just want to be
The star of my memory
From center stage
You played the part so well
Now your ghost stands in your place
You brought the house down
You brought the house down
Verse II
Chunks of plaster fall to the floor
Like bones slowly break
Splintered wood from all my tears left
Damage in its wake
I thought our love cemented fast
But hard sand doesn't last
So now I'm forced to ask
Chorus
Did you love me?
Or just want to be
The star of my memory
From center stage
You played the part so well
Now your ghost stands in your place
You brought the house down
You brought the house down
Middle 8
And you still bring the house down around me
And you still bring the house down around me
Chorus
Did you love me?
Or just want to be
The star of my memory
From center stage
You played the part so well
Now your ghost stands in your place
You brought the house down
Outro
Can I build again
Or am I beyond repair
Is anything worth saving
I'm afraid to even dare
Someone like you might come along
And tear me down again
Without a second thought
And it would be my end
