Empty Ness

Verse 1

She was sunlight in my darkest days

Turned my silence into something safe

Every laugh felt like a miracle

But I treated heaven like it was typical

She held me steady when I shook inside

Read my moods, saw through every lie

I was young, I was blind, I was careless

Thought forever meant I had time to waste

I let her love me on borrowed ground

Never stopped to hear that warning sound

Now I know what I couldn’t see

I had everything, and it was free

Chorus

I had the one and I let her go

Thought love was something I already owned

Now I’m screaming your name in an empty room

Too late to change, too soon to move

You were gold in my careless hands

I broke our future with my “I can”

Now all that’s left is the truth I hide

I lost the one who was on my side

Verse 2

Now the house feels hollow when I breathe

Even echoes wanna leave with me

Her side of the bed’s a crime scene

Full of ghosts and what could’ve been

Her name still burns on my phone

But pride keeps me dying alone

I replay every “not right now”

Like I’d fix it if I knew then how

The quiet screams louder at night

Regret don’t sleep, it keeps the lights on

I’d give anything just to rewind

But “too late” cuts deeper than goodbye

Bridge

I almost called you last night

Finger shaking under neon light

Had a thousand words, nothing right

Guess silence is my punishment

If love’s a lesson, I failed the test

Skipped the parts that mattered best

Now I see it clear as day

You didn’t leave… I pushed you away

Chorus

I had the one and I let her go

Thought love was something I already owned

Now I’m screaming your name in an empty room

Too late to change, too soon to move

You were gold in my careless hands

I broke our future with my “I can”

Now all that’s left is the truth I hide

I lost the one who was on my side
