[Verse One] The floor still creaks And the chairs still rock but nothing feels right Since he left The ghosts of him Run thin and pale And oh its a fragile tale [Chorus] When he's gone The lights turn gray And every word feels slow and far It hurts to sit (sit) It hurts to stand (stand) And it hurts to hold an empty hand (empty, Empty, hand) mmmmmmmmmmm [Verse Two] The clock ticks Slow as clay And the door won't stay closed But it doesn't fling wide I'm neither here or there i'm just stuck in this endless voice of pain [Pre-chorus] Did he know Did he see? How much of me was tied to "we"? [Chorus] When he's gone The lights turn gray And every word feels slow and far It hurts to sit (sit) It hurts to stand (stand) And it hurts to hold an empty hand (empty, Empty, hand) ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (It hurts to stand) (Hurts to sit) (hurts to breathe) [Outro] The robins cry And imitate the lie The stars fall from the sky But none look like they were really that high I reach for him But i know he won't be there i just wish it didn't hurt that bad
