[Verse 1]
Coffee going cold again
Two chairs
Just me and your ghost
Your sweater on the back of mine
Still smells like last July (oh why)
[Chorus]
It’s just the empty side of the bed
Where your “I love you” used to rest
I keep on reaching out my hand
To the quiet
To the silence
To the space you left
Every night I lie to my chest
Say it’s better
Say I’ll forget
But I still sleep on one side
And your pillow holds the rest
[Verse 2]
Friends keep calling
I let it ring
Can’t fake a smile for their screens
I scroll through what we used to be
Then put the phone face down
Let it sting
[Chorus]
It’s just the empty side of the bed
Where your “I love you” used to rest
I keep on reaching out my hand
To the quiet
To the silence
To the space you left
Every night I lie to my chest
Say it’s better
Say I’ll forget
But I still sleep on one side
And your pillow holds the rest
[Bridge]
Maybe you’re out there laughing loud
While I fold your name back into the crowd
But if you ever miss this ache we made
My door
My heart
My hurt
Still know your name (oh)
[Chorus]
It’s just the empty side of the bed
Where your “I love you” used to rest
I keep on reaching out my hand
To the quiet
To the silence
To the space you left
Every night I lie to my chest
Say it’s better
Say I’ll forget
But I still sleep on one side
Yeah
I still sleep on one side
And your pillow holds the rest (oh yeah)
