Empty

Verse 1

My body still remembers you

Even when the world pretends it’s through

My arms forgot what they were for

But my heart still waits at the door

The nights are long, the mornings ache

Every breath feels like a mistake

They say, “Your body will heal in time”

But no one asked about my mind

Pre-Chorus

I walk around like I’m still whole

But there’s a silence in my soul

Chorus

I feel empty… so empty inside

An echo where your heartbeat used to lie

My womb feels hollow, cold, and bare

Like love was built and then torn out of there

They don’t see the space you left in me

They don’t feel this quiet grief

I carried you — you were a part of me

Now I’m empty… without my baby

Verse 2

I catch myself holding my breath

Like I’m still protecting life from death

My hands rest where you used to be

Out of habit… out of need

Everyone talks about moving on

But my body knows something’s wrong

It still aches like it’s waiting for you

Like it doesn’t know what else to do

Pre-Chorus

My heart screams what my mouth can’t say

I lost you in every way

Chorus

I feel empty… down to my core

A mother without what she was made for

My womb remembers every dream

Every name, every almost-thing

I don’t just miss you emotionally

I miss you physically

You lived inside my every breath

Now I live with this emptiness

Bridge

They say you were only here a moment

But you changed the shape of my soul

My body learned how to love you

And now it doesn’t know how to let go

If love could fill this space again

I’d pour it in until it ends

But love is what made this hole

And love is what hurts me the most

Break (soft, broken)

I don’t need fixing

I don’t need advice

I just need someone to say

“Of course it hurts — you gave her life.”

Final Chorus

I feel empty… but not because I failed

I’m empty because love prevailed

Because for a moment, I was home

To a soul that I’ll always know

My womb is quiet, my arms are bare

But my love for you is still right there

I may be empty in ways I can’t explain

But you will never leave my name

Outro

So if my body cries when I don’t

If my heart breaks when I’m silent alone

Please remember what this emptiness means

I was a mother… and she lived in me
