The calendar pages fall, an eternity has gone by But the clock in this room is paralyzed, and so am I Your jacket’s been missing from the hook for so long The walls have been painted, the old scent is gone I still set the table for one, day after day But every single bite tastes like you’re miles away And the pain still splatters through the cracks of this home It’s been months, but I’m still freezing here all alone Your chair is still empty, a black hollow space Why does the love that I gave you leave such a bitter trace? Like ice in my veins, like a knife in my chest Time hasn't dried up the thirst in my breast Every room in this house haunts me with your ghost There is no place left where we didn’t love the most From the couch in the living room to the stairs in the hall In every single corner, the echoes of us fall In every room we made love, so intense and so free Now they’re just cold memories, cutting deep inside of me But deep down I know I can’t keep standing still I have to move on, and I will And the pain still splatters through the cracks of this home It’s been months, but I’m still freezing here all alone Your chair is still empty, a black hollow space Why does the love that I gave you leave such a bitter trace? Like ice in my veins, like a knife in my chest Time hasn't dried up the thirst in my breast I finally deleted your number late last year Because typing it out just brought me to tears They ask if I’m over it, if I’ve moved past the zone They see the outside, but inside I’m stone But I know there’s a day when this heavy weight will part When your memory stops blocking the steps of my heart The sharp edges fade, though it’s hard to believe The sun will break through this fog that I breathe And the pain still splatters through the cracks of this home It’s been months, but I’m still freezing here all alone Your chair is still empty, a black hollow space Why does the love that I gave you leave such a bitter trace? Like ice in my veins, like a knife in my chest Time hasn't dried up the thirst in my breast I refuse to drown in what’s no longer there I’m breaking through the walls of this cold despair My heart is locked tight behind a fortress of stone But I’m fighting my way forward, walking alone The seasons keep changing, the world spins around I’m finding the tracks of who I was before I drowned I look at the empty chair, closing out the cold Hoping soon I’ll have love left to give, and to hold I must move on... The pain will fade... someday. Open my heart... There is hope... To love again... To live again.
