08-Empty Rooms

[Verse 1 – quiet, flat] Chairs still In their place Dust lies On your face Every wall Knows your name Every room Feels the same [Pre-Chorus – restrained] I say “here” No one’s there Every sound Is a stair [Chorus – small, honest] These empty rooms Still hold you These empty rooms Still know you I walk through What we were These empty rooms Remember [Verse 2 – lower] Light falls On the floor Every step Is before I don’t touch What you left All this space In my chest [Pre-Chorus – same, heavier] I don’t move What you made I stay still In this place [Chorus – same, firmer] These empty rooms Still hold you These empty rooms Still know you I walk through What we were These empty rooms Remember [Bridge – near-whisper] If I sit In your chair Would you feel I was there? I don’t try I just stay In the shape Of your days [Final Chorus – resigned] These empty rooms Don’t change Every wall Every frame I move on They stay true These empty rooms Are you [Outro – cut short] Door stays shut I don’t move All this space Still feels you
