Five Rooms Lyrics - Tim O'brien

I live in five rooms, but they don't feel like home 

Since our dreams are shattered by two hearts made of stone 

Sittin' in the livin' room don't feel like livin' to me 

Drownin' in a flood of memories 

Chorus: Five rooms, five rooms 

Full of hope when love blooms 

Now it's empty as a tomb 

Livin' in these five rooms 

I don't go in the kitchen, it's a wasteland to me 

A place for dirty dishes and forgotten recipes 

I don't sleep in the bedroom, now I'm all alone 

The bed's too big, the nights go on too long 

Chorus: Five rooms, five rooms 

Full of hope when love blooms 

Now it's empty as a tomb 

Livin' in these five rooms 

I stop at the spare room while walkin' through the night 

Mournin' for the love we both cast aside 

In the glare of the bathroom mirror's reflection 

I pray for some faint light of direction 

Chorus: Five rooms, five rooms 

Full of hope when love blooms 

Now it's empty as a tomb 

Livin' in these five rooms
