[Intro | Brief instrumental| no humming] [Verse 1] I'm walking through that door alone The hostess smiles, she knows my face My ex and I would come here offen. To us, this was our favorite place The corner booth still calls my name I'm terrified and brave [Pre-Chorus] Every memory's on my plate Can I eat through the past? [Chorus | Layered Vocal Harmonies] I'm sitting at a table for one But the ghost of us won't leave I order what we used to love And try to just believe That I can be here by myself And still be whole, still be free I'm sitting at a table for one And that's just right for me [Verse 2] He always stole my calamari Made jokes about my choice of wine I'd roll my eyes but loved it then Now silence tastes like mine The waiter asks if I'm doing okay I smile and say I'm fine (I really am) [Chorus | Layered Vocal Harmonies] I'm sitting at a table for one But the ghost of us won't leave I order what we used to love And try to just believe That I can be here by myself And still be whole, still be free I'm sitting at a table for one And that's just right for me [Instrumental break, featuring sax] [Bridge] This place won't haunt me anymore I'm taking back this space The memory's just a story now I'm writing my own grace [Final Chorus] I'm sitting at a table for one No ghost, just me and dreams I order what I want to love And finally I breathe I came here scared but now I'm strong And that's what sets me free I'm sitting at a table for one And that's just perfect for me
