I came home to an empty house
A place we've called home for years
Nothin's changed in the way it's laid out
But something's missing here

All your things are still arranged
In their special way
It's almost like you never left
But I know you're in a better place

I never knew what it was like
To walk a minute in your shoes
But if that could take the pain away
That's something that I'd choose

I always knew there'd come a day
When we'd go our separate ways
Oh I never really considered
It would happen this way

I took for granted most of the time
All the time we had
Looking back that's what I want
Man I want you back

I never knew what it was like
To spend a mile in your shoes
But if that could take it all away
It's something that I'd do

I'm happy that I got a chance
A chance to care for you
I'm thankful for all the time
The time I shared with you

No I, I never knew what it was like
To walk a mile in your shoes
But I'd gladly walk a million more
If it'd bring me back to you

I came home to an empty house
