One, two, three, four

She's crying on the phone

Miles between us, but she's still my home

I hear it in her tone

I know she's getting tired of being alone

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder

But I can't break her heart much longer

So don't come home, just stay out

'Cause there ain't nothing left for you here now

Just a memory of a spark

That lit a flame inside my heart

'Cause it's all smoke and embers now

'Cause it's all smoke and embers now

He's lying on the phone

Saying, "Baby, just a few more shows"

And when he comes back home

No, he ain't the man I used to know

Distance makes the heart grow fonder

He can't break my heart much longer

So don't come home, just stay out

'Cause there ain't nothing left for you here now

Just a memory of a spark

That lit a flame inside my heart

'Cause it's all smoke and embers now

'Cause it's all smoke and embers now

All our walls are empty

No pictures on the shelf

All we've got's our memories

Of before it went to hell

It's all smoke and embers now

It's all smoke and embers now

'Cause it's all smoke and embers now

'Cause it's all smoke and embers now

So don't come home, just stay out

'Cause there ain't nothing left for us here now
