A Song For The Empty Nights

Verse 1
I thought when the pain let go of me
I’d finally breathe, finally sleep
No more shadows in my chest
No more ghosts I couldn’t keep

I closed the door, I walked away
Left every broken piece behind
But no one tells you when it’s done
There’s a different kind of quiet

Pre-Chorus
I don’t miss you like before
But I still feel something’s gone

Chorus
This is a song for the empty nights
When nothing’s wrong but nothing’s right
When the hurt is gone but it took the light
And left me here in the afterlife

No tears fall, no one to blame
Just silence where you said my name
I let you go, I paid the price
Now I’m alone on these empty nights

Verse 2
Your name still lights up on my phone
I watch it fade, I let it die
I don’t answer, I don’t go back
But it still crosses my mind

And I don’t break like I used to
I don’t fall down on the floor
But healing doesn’t mean I’m whole
It just means I don’t hurt anymore

Pre-Chorus
I’m not shattered, I’m just still
Trying to feel something real

Chorus
This is a song for the empty nights
When nothing’s wrong but nothing’s right
When the hurt is gone but it took the light
And left me here in the afterlife

No tears fall, no one to blame
Just silence where you said my name
I let you go, I paid the price
Now I’m alone on these empty nights

Bridge
Maybe I got so used to pain
I don’t know peace when it comes my way
Maybe love left more than scars
Maybe it changed who we are

I’m standing here, I should be free
But something’s missing inside of me
Not you, not us, not what we were
Just someone I don’t recognise anymore

Chorus
This is a song for the empty nights
Where I’m still learning to be alright
When the past is gone but it changed my life
And I’m trying to find my way through the quiet

No going back, no rewind
Just healing slow, one night at a time
I let you go, I survived
Now I’m finding me in these empty nights
