[Verse 1] Your mug still by the sink Blue stain on the rim I reach for your side of the bed And fall through again Your scarf on the chair Your shoes by the door I keep the whole place alive Like you’re coming back for more [Pre-Chorus] I fold the night in half I count the cracks in the wall I say your name out loud But the room says nothing at all [Chorus] Empty house, empty heart You took the best part I still hear you in the halls Then I hear nothing at all Empty house, empty heart I break where you are (empty house, empty heart) I’m still here in the dark [Verse 2] The plant on the window Died in your month I watered it every Sunday Like love could be enough The red on my sleeve From your old goodbye I washed it a hundred times But it still won’t dry [Pre-Chorus] I fold the night in half I count the cracks in the wall I say your name out loud But the room says nothing at all [Chorus] Empty house, empty heart You took the best part I still hear you in the halls Then I hear nothing at all Empty house, empty heart I break where you are (empty house, empty heart) I’m still here in the dark [Bridge] If I could take one night And keep you at my side I’d leave the rest to burn I’d let the whole world hide But morning pulls the sheet And there’s your shape gone cold I learned the hardest thing: Some doors just never close [Final Chorus] Empty house, empty heart You took the best part I still hear you in the halls Then I hear nothing at all Empty house, empty heart I break where you are (empty house, empty heart) I’m still here in the dark
