Empty Rooms

The morning light finds me alone again Coffee growing cold in my hands Your favorite chair still holds your shape But you're not coming back, I understand The photographs on the mantle stare At the space where you used to be Every corner whispers your name But silence is all that answers me Empty rooms, empty heart Everything falls apart When love walks out the door Nothing feels the same anymore Empty rooms, empty nights Searching for familiar lights In the darkness that you left behind I'm losing pieces of my mind I still set the table for two Old habits die hard, they say The radio plays our favorite song But the melody just fades away Your clothes still hang in the closet Like ghosts of happier days I can't bring myself to pack them Though you're never coming back this way Empty rooms, empty heart Everything falls apart When love walks out the door Nothing feels the same anymore Empty rooms, empty nights Searching for familiar lights In the darkness that you left behind I'm losing pieces of my mind Time moves slow when you're alone Every second feels like years I'm learning how to live with ghosts And swallow back these bitter tears Empty rooms, empty heart Trying to make a brand new start Though love walked out the door I'll find myself once more Empty rooms, empty nights Learning to turn on my own lights In the darkness you left behind I'm finding pieces of my mind The morning light finds me alone again But maybe that's okay...
