Lyrics
Coffee growing cold in my hands
Your favorite chair still holds your shape
But you're not coming back, I understand
The photographs on the mantle stare
At the space where you used to be
Every corner whispers your name
But silence is all that answers me
Empty rooms, empty heart
Everything falls apart
When love walks out the door
Nothing feels the same anymore
Empty rooms, empty nights
Searching for familiar lights
In the darkness that you left behind
I'm losing pieces of my mind
I still set the table for two
Old habits die hard, they say
The radio plays our favorite song
But the melody just fades away
Your clothes still hang in the closet
Like ghosts of happier days
I can't bring myself to pack them
Though you're never coming back this way
Empty rooms, empty heart
Everything falls apart
When love walks out the door
Nothing feels the same anymore
Empty rooms, empty nights
Searching for familiar lights
In the darkness that you left behind
I'm losing pieces of my mind
Time moves slow when you're alone
Every second feels like years
I'm learning how to live with ghosts
And swallow back these bitter tears
Empty rooms, empty heart
Trying to make a brand new start
Though love walked out the door
I'll find myself once more
Empty rooms, empty nights
Learning to turn on my own lights
In the darkness you left behind
I'm finding pieces of my mind
The morning light finds me alone again
But maybe that's okay...
