Empty Without You

I got a shelf full of gold and shine

Every win got my name in lights

Crowds cheer loud when I cross that line

But it fades when I close my eyes

All the flashes, the cameras call

They don’t feel like much at all

When I turn and you’re not around

It’s just silence in the sound

They say I made it, I reached the top

But what’s the point if your hand I lost?

All these trophies don’t mean a thing

If you’re not right here with me

Every medal, every dream

Feels hollow, can’t you see?

I’d trade it all, every victory

Just to have you next to me

‘Cause the world don’t shine the same

When you’re missing from my lane

Standing tall on a winner’s stage

But it feels like an empty space

What’s a crown if I wear it alone?

It’s just metal, it’s just stone

Every night when the lights go dim

I replay where we could’ve been

All the glory just turns to dust

If it isn’t shared with us

They raise me high, but I still fall

‘Cause you’re the reason behind it all

All these trophies don’t mean a thing

If you’re not right here with me

Every medal, every dream

Feels hollow, can’t you see?

I’d trade it all, every victory

Just to have you next to me

‘Cause the world don’t shine the same

When you’re missing from my lane

What’s a win if I can’t call your name?

What’s the fire if there’s no flame?

I don’t need the spotlight glow

If I got no one to hold

All these trophies don’t mean a thing

If you’re not right here with me

Every medal, every dream

Means nothing without “we”

I’d give it up, every victory

For a moment you’d believe

That the greatest prize I see

Is you standing next to me

Yeah, I’d lose it all, I swear it’s true

Just to win my life with you.
