Hole In My Heart
By Kim Davidson (c) 2010

My life is in boxes, suspended in time, in between towns and tomorrows
And I'm given pause by a dusty old album, photos of a life that I borrowed
On each yellowed page is your smiling face, a beacon of light down an old road
And I'm torn for a moment by selective memory, wanting to reap what's never been sowed

CHORUS: There's a highway where our house used to be
Another divide between you and me
And there's a price to pay for what used to be free
And a hole in my heart where you used to be... a hole in my heart where you used to be...

It's history so ancient, I shouldn't care now, but moving on feels so familiar
I'm thinking of then, and wondering how you're made stronger by things that should kill ya,
But time moves to fill all the empty space... this is what we call progress
Three steps forward, two back, still moves you ahead, 'til you're someday healed more or less

CHORUS: But there's a highway where our house used to be
Another divide between you and me
And there's a price to pay for what used to be free
And a hole in my heart where you used to be... a hole in my heart where you used to be...

BRIDGE: I've been good at forgetting, I will be again, this I know
But just for today, yes just for today, I might let it show...
I might even think about reaching out for you, as if you might meet me halfway
But before I can finish the thought I'm wondering what you could say

CHORUS: When there's a highway where our house used to be
Another divide between you and me
And there's a price to pay for what used to be free
And a hole in my heart where you used to be... a hole in my heart where you used to be...
