Empty Rooms Lyrics
Loneliness is your only friend.
A broken heart that just won't mend
Is the price you pay.
It's hard to take when love grows old.
The days are long and the nights grow cold
When it fades away.
You hope that she will change her mind,
But the days drift on and on.
You'll never know the reason why she's gone.
Empty rooms,
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms,
Where we learn to live without love.
You see her face in every crowd,
You hear her voice but you're still proud,
So you turn away.
You tell yourself that you'll be strong,
But your heart tells you this time you're wrong.
Empty rooms,
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms,
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms,
Where we learn to live without love.
You hope that she will change her mind,
But the days drift on and one,
You'll never know the reason why she's gone.
Empty rooms,
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms,
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms,
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms,
Where we learn to live without love.
A broken heart that just won't mend
Is the price you pay.
The days are long and the nights grow cold
When it fades away.
But the days drift on and on.
You'll never know the reason why she's gone.
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms,
Where we learn to live without love.
You hear her voice but you're still proud,
So you turn away.
But your heart tells you this time you're wrong.
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms,
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms,
Where we learn to live without love.
But the days drift on and one,
You'll never know the reason why she's gone.
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms,
Where we learn to live without love.
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms,
Where we learn to live without love.

No explanation needed. Except the term Empty Rooms. It has dual meaning. Literally empty rooms - empty of the one you love or empty of love. Also it symbolizes the period of time in which you "learn to live without love" where ever that may be.
There's a live version of this song, late 80's I think, that has Gary performing one of the greatest lead solos of all time. To this day. Absolutely incredible. Hear it on YouTube.
