Empty Chair

מילים

[Verse 1] Your keys still by the door Your coat on the back of my chair I make two cups by habit Then stare at one gone cold there The bowl in the sink still waits For the laugh you used to make Now the room feels too honest Every corner knows your shape [Pre-Chorus] And I tried to move on But the hours move through me I keep hearing your name In the ache where you should be [Chorus] This empty chair Still knows your side This empty chair Still kills me inside I say move on But I can’t lie I’m still talking to the air By this empty chair [Verse 2] Your sweater’s in the hallway Still caught on that loose nail I fold it like a message Then put it back on the rail The photo by the mirror Has that same crooked grin I smile like I’m fine now Then I break all over again [Pre-Chorus] And I tried to move on But the hours move through me I keep hearing your name In the ache where you should be [Chorus] This empty chair Still knows your side This empty chair Still kills me inside I say move on But I can’t lie I’m still talking to the air By this empty chair [Bridge] If you walked back in tonight Would I know what to say? Would you read all these small scars That the silence made? I leave the porch light low Like you’re only late But the truth sits with me And it don’t change [Final Chorus] This empty chair Still knows your side This empty chair Still kills me inside I say move on But I can’t lie I’m still talking to the air By this empty chair This empty chair Still holds you near This empty chair Brings back the tears I say move on But I can’t lie I’m still talking to the air By this empty chair
