# Empty Seat

**[Intro]**  
Mmm… yeah  
The room feels bigger now  
Somehow

**[Verse 1]**  
There’s an empty seat at the table where you used to sit  
I still pour two cups of coffee out of habit  
The joke I heard today, I almost texted you  
Then remembered there’s no punchline waiting through

I scroll past memes that would’ve made you laugh out loud  
Save them for a second, then delete them in the crowd  
The playlist skips the songs we used to sing along  
Now they just play softer, like they know that you’re gone

**[Pre-Chorus]**  
It’s not the dramatic kind of missing  
No tears in the rain  
Just quiet little echoes  
Of a ordinary day

**[Chorus]**  
There’s an empty seat beside me  
On the couch, in the car, in my mind  
I got used to you being there  
All of the time  
I don’t cry about it anymore  
But sometimes I still notice  
The space you used to fill  
With your light and your voice  
Yeah, there’s an empty seat  
And it’s gonna stay that way

**[Verse 2]**  
I walk the long way home so I don’t pass our old spot  
The café changed the menu, guess it changes a lot  
I laugh with other people, and it’s good, it’s fine  
But nobody finishes my sentences quite like your mind

Some nights the silence feels a little too complete  
I turn the TV louder just to fake your heartbeat  
I’m okay, I promise, most days I don’t even think  
But then a song comes on and I sink

**[Pre-Chorus]**  
It’s not that I want you back  
In the way that you wanted me  
It’s just that friends like that  
Don’t grow on every tree

**[Bridge]**  
I hope you found your table  
With someone who can stay  
Who pulls out the chair and means it  
In every single way  
I’ll keep this one empty  
Not out of bitterness or spite  
Just honoring what was  
On the quiet nights

**[Final Chorus]** *(plus doux, presque apaisé)*  
There’s an empty seat beside me  
But I’m learning how to sit  
With the room a little bigger  
And the light a little dim  
I’ll always keep a corner  
For the friend you used to be  
In the stories that I carry  
Soft and carefully  
Yeah, there’s an empty seat  
And that’s okay with me  
Now

**[Outro]**  
Mmm…  
Empty seat  
But I’m not alone  
Anymore…
