Empty lights

Verse 1

Everybody says the pain will fade,

But I’m still standing where you walked away.

Too many names turned into ghosts,

Now silence is the voice I know the most.

Every heartbeat calls into the night,

Looking for a soul to hold me tight.

I smile outside, but no one sees

The storm that’s living underneath.

Pre-Chorus

I’m reaching through the dark,

Searching for a spark.

Tell me love is somewhere waiting…

Tell me I’m not fading.

Chorus

I’m dancing with the empty lights,

Trying to survive these lonely nights.

I’m screaming where nobody hears,

Drowning in a sea of missing years.

I just wanna feel somebody’s love,

Something real, something strong enough.

If you’re out there, don’t let me go…

I’m still waiting in the afterglow.

Drop

(Female vocal chops / repeated)

“Don’t let me go…”

“I’m still here…”

“Love… love… love…”

“Find me in the dark…”

Verse 2

I lost the ones that felt like home,

Now every crowded room feels cold.

Even the stars don’t shine the same,

Since every goodbye learned my name.

The hearts I loved still live in me,

The souls I miss still set me free.

But every memory leaves a scar,

No matter where they are.

Pre-Chorus

I’m reaching through the dark,

Searching for a spark.

Tell me love is somewhere waiting…

Tell me I’m not fading.

Final Chorus

I’m dancing with the empty lights,

Holding on through endless nights.

One day these broken wings will fly,

One day I’ll stop asking why.

Until that day I’ll keep the flame,

Even if nobody knows my name.

‘Cause somewhere love is calling me…

Somewhere I’m still meant to be.

Outro

(Soft, echoing)

Love… don’t leave me.

Love… come find me.

I’m still here…

Waiting.
