Empty Chair

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saved your name in my phone Like it could still bring you home Two cups cooling on the counter And one stayed full all night long You laughed like you knew my hands Before I knew what I had I had the map in my pocket And still I let you pass [Pre-Chorus] Now the door swings in my mind And I hear you say my name I was standing right beside you But I never crossed the frame [Chorus] You were my only one My once, my almost I let the moment run Now I live with the ghost You were my only one And I was too late (too late) You were my only one I missed my soulmate [Verse 2] I saw you under that streetlamp Holding your coat to your chest I wanted to tell you everything But I swallowed the rest You turned the page too softly I heard it like a storm Now the bed feels too wide at night And the house feels like before [Pre-Chorus] Now the door swings in my mind And I hear you say my name I was standing right beside you But I never crossed the frame [Chorus] You were my only one My once, my almost I let the moment run Now I live with the ghost You were my only one And I was too late (too late) You were my only one I missed my soulmate [Bridge] If I could fold time back I’d take your hand that night Say the truth that broke in my throat And not let fear decide But the years keep moving Like rain across glass And every road I’ve taken Still leads me back [Final Chorus] You were my only one My once, my almost I let the moment run Now I live with the ghost You were my only one And I was too late (too late) You were my only one I missed my soulmate [Outro] So I keep your name near Like a match in the dark And I wonder if you knew You were home from the start (home from the start)
