Serial Lover [Verse 1] Mug ring on the table Phone face down for days One fork in the sink now Two chairs One pushed away [Verse 2] Coat hooks hanging empty Your key still by the door I talk like you can hear me Just to fill the quiet floor Names in my phone All of these numbers I don’t dial them Chair at the table Still pulled out I cook too much Then throw it out [Chorus] Everyone I needed went away Left their shadows in my doorway I keep talking to the empty air Like somebody’s there Everyone I needed couldn’t stay I’m still standing in the same old place Holding all the words I couldn’t say Everyone I needed went away And you went too Yeah, you went too [Verse 3] Sundays are louder When there’s quiet Old movie playing I don’t buy it I scroll through faces Till they blur I hear my heart Then I hit “clear” [Bridge] If I reach out my hand There’s just the dark One more empty room One more aching spark But I’m here Yeah, I’m here Even if it’s only me [Chorus] Everyone I needed went away Left their shadows in my doorway I keep talking to the empty air Like somebody’s there Everyone I needed couldn’t stay I’m still standing in the same old place Learning how to still breathe Since everyone I needed went away And you left me too Left me too [Bridge] I open up the window Let the morning in It doesn’t fix the silence But I’m breathing in Everyone I needed went away But I stayed [Outro] Or maybe looking for someone to lean on Like it was shelter from the rain Called it love or perfect timing But it always felt the same I kept asking other people For a peace they couldn’t give There’s a silence underneath this That could never be filled I was chasing meaning With a hunger deeper still Now I’m turning toward the quiet Where I don’t need to be seen anymore Maybe what I’ve been missing Wasn’t anything I was searching for I just know it’s not enough Or it’s always been too much Don’t want another body, another promise Or another touch What if there’s something bigger waiting Maybe I’ve been looking down When I should be looking up
