The song "A House Without Love" by George Jones talks about a relationship that has been built on pride rather than love. The two people involved in the relationship have come to the realization that their love has faded away, and they have only been trying to sustain their house or relationship out of habit or societal expectations. The lyrics describe how they have both lived on pride for many years, but they now agree that the love they once had is no longer present. Despite this realization, both partners continue to try and make the relationship work, even though the love they once shared is gone. The singer acknowledges that the love light in their partner's eyes has faded, and while they are content with just wandering and being alone, they realize that their efforts to gain material wealth or possessions have been in vain. They have sacrificed the simple joys and genuine love that their relationship could have had in pursuit of these material possessions. The lyrics suggest that no matter where they go, both partners will still feel alone because of the pride that has come between them. They have become disconnected from each other, and their relationship lacks the warmth and love that makes a house feel like a home. In the end, the song implies that they have reached a breaking point and have to accept that their relationship has failed. The simple things they once shared and enjoyed are now gone forever, replaced by a desire for wealth and possessions. The hour of parting has arrived, and they can no longer deny that a house without love is not a home.
