[Verse] I count the hours like stars in the sky Each one feels endless I don’t know why The silence whispers where laughter should be I close my eyes But it won’t set me free [Chorus] When they're with her My heart feels the weight A tug-of-war that time won’t abate I’m here but I’m hollow It’s easy to see When they're with her I wish they're with me [Verse 2] The echoes linger Their footsteps are gone But in my chest Their laughter lives on I built this house with rooms full of care But what is a home when they’re not there [Prechorus] Every wall feels colder tonight Their absence steals the light [Chorus] When they're with her My heart feels the weight A tug-of-war that time won’t abate I’m here but I’m hollow It’s easy to see When they're with her I wish they're with me [Bridge] It’s not about blame It’s not about sides It’s about love that never divides I gave them my name My soul My days But some nights I lose them in the haze
