[Verse 1]
Key in the lock
Shoes by the door
I mumble “I’m back”
To an empty floor
One paper cup
Lipstick from you
I blink and remember
That dream ain’t true
[Pre-Chorus]
I left the lights on, like someone’s here
I leave the TV talking in my ear
I keep a second pillow on your side
Like I’m still someone in somebody’s life
[Chorus]
Welcome home to an empty room
Coat on a chair, but it’s not you
Echoes say what you never do
“Welcome home”
I forgot I’m alone again
Talking to the walls like they’re my friends
Thought I’d feel a heartbeat in this bed
But it’s cold
Welcome home
[Verse 2]
Less sleep these days
Eyes half-closed
Scroll ’til the sun
Burns through the blinds
Quiet and tired
Cancel my plans
Say that I’m busy
Just holding my head in my hands
[Pre-Chorus]
I leave the door cracked, like you might come
I cook too much food for only one
I keep an extra toothbrush by the sink
Just to have proof I used to mean something
[Chorus]
Welcome home to an empty room
Coat on a chair, but it’s not you
Echoes say what you never do
“Welcome home”
I forgot I’m alone again
Talking to the walls like they’re my friends
Thought I’d feel a heartbeat in this bed
But it’s cold
Welcome home
[Bridge]
Introvert heart, too scared to call
Build little worlds inside these four walls
If I disappear, who’s gonna know?
Who’s gonna say “I’m glad you’re home”? (hey)
[Chorus]
Welcome home to an empty room
Coat on a chair, but it’s not you
Echoes say what you never do
“Welcome home”
I forgot I’m alone again
Talking to the walls like they’re my friends
Thought I’d feel a heartbeat in this bed
But it’s cold
Welcome home
Yeah, welcome home
