[Instrumental

A shadow falls on the empty chair

A cigarette burns but no one's there

The clock ticks slow like it don’t care

It happens just like this my friend

One dies and one is buried in the end

Loneliness is the only trend

The record spins but the dance is gone

The melody’s there but it feels all wrong

The needle skips but the night drags on

You can fight it

You can deny it

But it still ignites it

It happens just like this my friend

One dies and one is buried in the end

Loneliness is the only trend

A lover’s touch fades to a ghost

An empty toast to what we miss the most

The heart keeps beating but it’s lost its post
