Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I rehearse my hellos in the morning light
Standing here in the kitchen, getting everything right
Practice saying I miss you, practice making it true
But the coffee gets cold and I'm still missing you
[Pre-chorus]
And I pace these empty rooms
Pretending that you might walk through
[Chorus]
I've practiced all my lines but no one's here to hear
The silence answers back, so loud and clear
[Verse 2]
Got my phone in my hand and your number's on screen
Keep typing messages out that I'll never let you see
There's a speech I've perfected about where we went wrong
But the words fade away like an unfinished song
[Pre-chorus]
And I pace these empty rooms
Pretending that you might walk through
[Chorus]
I've practiced all my lines but no one's here to hear
The silence answers back, so loud and clear
[Bridge]
Sometimes I wonder if you do this too
Rehearse your lines, imagine what you'd say
Standing alone in a room somewhere
Letting the moment slip away
[Verse 3]
Maybe tomorrow I'll find the strength to call
Maybe the words will finally break down these walls
For now I'll keep practicing what to say
Till imaginary conversations turn real someday
[Chorus]
I've practiced all my lines but no one's here to hear
(No one's here to hear)
The silence answers back, so loud and clear
(So loud and clear)
[Outro]
Ooh, so loud and clear
[Piano fades]
