There’s a baby on the bed
Whispering for sleep
And windows without curtains
Nobody sees
There’s a hole
Where a family once lived

They’re always fussin’ and fightin’
Love making wrong right
It’ll be worth it later
When they turn out the lights
There’s a truth in their lover’s eyes

Can’t you see?
A love growing older
Can’t you feel
Distance apart
Don’t you know?
Absence makes the heart
Stronger
But you can’t blame
A broken heart

There are bars on his windows
Bars on her heart
She’ll have to run to catch him
Before he falls apart
Time passes like the wheel on Russian roulette

Can’t you see
A love growing colder?
Can’t you feel
The distance apart?
Don’t you know?
Absence makes the heart stronger
But you can’t blame
A broken heart
No you can’t blame a broken heart


Can’t you see
A love growing colder?
Can’t you feel
The distance apart?
Don’t you know?
Absence makes the heart
Stronger
But you can’t blame
A broken heart
No you can’t blame a broken heart
