[Intro: Waylon Wyatt]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1: Waylon Wyatt]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Waylon Wyatt & Willow Avalon]
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder
But I can't break her heart much longer
[Chorus: Willow Avalon, Waylon Wyatt, Both]
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
[Verse 2: Willow Avalon]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Willow Avalon]
Distance makes the heart grow fonder
He can't break my heart much longer
[Chorus: Willow Avalon, Waylon Wyatt, Both]
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
[Bridge: Waylon Wyatt, Willow Avalon]
All our walls are empty
No pictures on the shelf
All we've got's our memories
Of before it went to hell
[Chorus: Waylon Wyatt & Willow Avalon, Willow Avalon]
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
[Outro: Waylon Wyatt & Willow Avalon]
So don't come home, just stay out
'Cause there ain't nothing left for us here now
