Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Six years of candles burned

Six years of hope in my hands

I counted every little sign

Like a promise I could command

White sheets, cold room, soft rain

Names I never got to keep

I held the future to my chest

Then let it slip right into sleep

[Pre-Chorus]

And I don’t blame the sky

I don’t curse the years

I just sit in this quiet

And swallow all my tears

[Chorus]

Empty arms, open heart

I still feel the tear apart

I wanted you, I wanted more

Now I’m learning what this pain is for

Empty arms, still I stand

Still I’m here, still I can

Love what broke me, let it stay

Walk this lonely road today

[Verse 2]

My husband cries behind the door

He loves me, but he grieves too

We hold each other like glass

Afraid of what we won’t get through

He says my name like a prayer

I hear the ache beneath his voice

We lost a dream we built so long

There was never any choice

[Pre-Chorus]

And he reaches for my hand

When the dark comes in

We are two hurting bodies

Trying not to fold within

[Chorus]

Empty arms, open heart

I still feel the tear apart

I wanted you, I wanted more

Now I’m learning what this pain is for

Empty arms, still I stand

Still I’m here, still I can

Love what broke me, let it stay

Walk this lonely road today

[Bridge]

Maybe I don’t need to be

What I thought I had to be

Maybe mother lives in me

In the way I carry grief

So I whisper to the night

You were loved before you left

I will live with this goodbye

I will honor every step

[Final Chorus]

Empty arms, open heart

I still feel the tear apart

I wanted you, I wanted more

Now I’m learning what this pain is for

Empty arms, still I stand

Still I’m here, still I can

Love what broke me, let it stay

Walk this lonely road today
