[Verse 1] The daylight moves across the floor But nothing really changes here Same old walls, same quiet door Same old silence drawing near I hear the world outside go by Like it forgot this house was here I know I'm loved, I know I'm held But love don't always reach this far [Pre-Chorus] I don't blame the road you're on I know why you have to go But when the evening settles in This house gets loud with alone [Chorus] Empty rooms They know my name Empty rooms They whisper just the same I keep breathing through the silence I keep waiting for the light But these empty rooms keep closing in Every night [Post-Chorus] Empty rooms Every night [Verse 2] The phone sits quiet, the door stays shut The hours fall without a sound I reach for things I meant to do Then set those heavy pieces down Some days I feel the life I miss Pressed like glass against my skin Close enough to almost touch Too far away to enter in [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a crowd of faces I don't need the whole world near But Lord, one voice inside this silence Could split this darkness like a spear [Chorus] Empty rooms They know my name Empty rooms They whisper just the same I keep breathing through the silence I keep waiting for the light But these empty rooms keep closing in Every night [Bridge] I am not forgotten But I feel unseen I am not abandoned But the silence gets between I know You sit beside me When no one else comes through But Lord, these walls are heavy And I am tired too [Final Chorus] Empty rooms They know my name Empty rooms They whisper just the same I keep breathing through the silence I keep waiting for the light But these empty rooms keep closing in Every night [Final Hook] Empty rooms Empty rooms I'm still here Still breathing [Outro] The daylight moves across the floor And nothing really changes here
