From Your Knees Matt King (Country)

[Verse 1]

Brick by brick and stone by stone
No hammer was swingin', cause cheatin' and drinkin'
Don't need no help wreckin' a home

Of what he has once called his life
He dropped to his knees, in sheer disbelief
At the total destruction in sight

[Chorus]
There were empty closets and empty drawers
And a tear-stained note on the kitchen floor
And burning memories, in the fireplace

His house was still standing, but his home was gone
Brother you would not believe

To the fire she left on the grate
Sometimes a man will change on his own
Sometimes, I tell you, it takes
