[Verse 1]
Put on my best coat, sprayed that scent you said you liked
Checked my phone, you said “see you at 9”
Now it’s half past ten and I’m still here
Waiter’s asking, “Should I clear?”
Nah, I’ll give it five more minutes — even though I know you won’t appear
[Pre-Chorus]
Every glass of wine tastes like goodbye
Every laugh from the corner sounds like a lie
I told my friends you were different this time
Guess I fell for another headline
[Chorus]
You stood me up, left me with my pride
Sittin’ in a room where the candles died
One empty chair and a heart that tried
Guess I’m the only one who showed tonight
Yeah, you stood me up — no goodbye, no fight
Just silence where your hand should’ve been in mine
One empty chair, but I’m still alright
‘Cause I showed up for me tonight
[Verse 2]
Told the waiter, “make it to-go”
Walked past the couples in a row
Your shadow’s the only thing I know
But it don’t follow me no more
Streetlights flicker like the way you ghosted me before
[Pre-Chorus]
Every promise you made turned paper-thin
Every maybe just means “never again”
I’m done waiting for ghosts in the rain
I’ll toast to my name instead of your game
[Chorus]
You stood me up, left me with my pride
Sittin’ in a room where the candles died
One empty chair and a heart that tried
Guess I’m the only one who showed tonight
Yeah, you stood me up — no goodbye, no fight
Just silence where your hand should’ve been in mine
One empty chair, but I’m still alright
‘Cause I showed up for me tonight
[Bridge]
Maybe one day you’ll think of this
Wonder how it feels to miss
Someone who actually cared enough to sit
Through all your nothings, waiting for something
But baby, I’m done waiting
[Final Chorus]
You stood me up, but I’m still fly
Wiped my tears, caught my own high
One empty chair, but I’ll be fine
‘Cause I showed up, and that’s my sign
Yeah, you stood me up — but I won tonight
I’m loving me in candlelight
That empty chair don’t hurt my pride
I showed up for me tonight
[Outro]
One empty chair, one heart repaired
You didn’t show, but I’m still there
