Empty Side of the Bed
Verse 1
Crawling into bed alone tonight,
You just walked out and killed the light.
Standing here still in the quiet room,
Watching my forever turn into doom.
Tears keep falling, I can’t pretend,
Didn’t know this was how we’d end.
All your promises in my mind
Were love I thought would stand the test of time.
Pre-Chorus
But your words were only real to me,
A one-way kind of memory.
Chorus
Wish I never had that first date,
Never let my guarded heart take the bait.
Never heard that first “I love you,”
Never believed that it was true.
Wish I never woke that morning light
Thinking you’d be mine for life.
Now forever’s just a word you said —
And I’m alone on this side of the bed.
Verse 2
Pictures playing like a worn-out song,
Trying to see where we went wrong.
Every laugh, every late-night call
Feels like it never meant much at all.
I was building dreams for two,
You were just passing through.
I held on while you let go,
Loving you more than you’ll ever know.
Bridge
If I could turn back time somehow,
I’d guard my heart the way I don’t know how.
But love don’t come with guarantees,
Just broken hearts and memories.
Final Chorus
Wish I never had that first date,
Never believed in a twist of fate.
Never let you get this close,
Now you’re the one I miss the most.
Morning comes, but you’re not there,
Just empty pillows and silent prayers.
Forever faded with what you said —
Now I’m alone on this side of the bed.
