Lyrics

Life is calling, what’s the point then?
That’s why I’m moving on, moving to Houston

I begged for more attention for so long, now I’m just numb, I’m weary and I’m afraid that the attention never comes
Day after day it’s the same old thing, so many years together you still don’t wear a ring
I feel like we aren’t husband and wife, more like roommates stuck together for life
Trying to communicate is almost impossible, words cut like a knife and we both end up being hostile
This love that we once had is almost dead and I’m spending all my time just living in my head
Fighting every day is taking its toll on my soul
The pulse of this life is slower than before and I don’t think this broken heart can take it anymore

We don’t kiss, we don’t make love, we barely even touch
We pass one another like strangers for so long, we don’t even talk much
I’ve come to realize when I cry, it’s on the inside and there’s no tears
Starting to wonder if I wasted so many years

Life is calling, I guess you’re right after all, what’s the point then?
So I guess it’s clear now I’m moving on, moving to Houston

This love we had is almost dead and I’ve been spending all my time living in my head
Fighting every day is taking its toll on my soul
The pulse of this life is slower than before and I don’t think this broken heart can take it anymore

I’ve switched medications several times thinking it was just me, but I can’t medicate enough for both of us to make you see
We used to make each other smile and we both know that ain’t happened for a while
Laughter that once filled our home is now a faded memory that it’s gone
The only time I smile now is remembering how much I love Houston
Now thinking about it, what’s the point then?
I’m better off in Houston

This love we had is almost dead and I’ve been spending all my time living in my head
Fighting every day is taking its toll on my soul
The pulse of this life is slower than before and I don’t think this broken heart can take it anymore

Houston calls to my heart all the time and is always on my mind
So I figure when you realize what you’re losing, I’ll already be gone

Life is calling, there is more out there than this
And I deserve to be more than just his
Life is calling, I know the point then
I’m on my way being happy, happy again in Houston
