[Verse 1]
One porch light dead
One truck still hot
Your ring left a mark
On a black coffee pot
I got your goodbye
Like a knife in my coat
And this old house
Just echoes your ghost
I clean my boots
Then stare at the floor
Try to act tough
But I ain’t that anymore
Name in my phone
Still burning bright
I hit that dial
Then I let it die
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the rain got loud
On the sheet metal roof
Every drop says
What I’m trying to lose
If hurt was a road
I’d know every mile
I been driving that road
With a cracked-up smile
[Chorus]
Empty porch, empty heart
You left me in the dark
Empty porch, empty heart
I fall apart, fall apart
(Empty porch)
(Empty heart)
You broke the man
I thought I was
[Verse 2]
You said forever
With a straight-face lie
While he was waiting
In the corner of your eye
Now I see his truck
By the county store
Same old story
Just a different door
I held that shame
Like a heavy stone
Worked all day
Then I came home alone
No one hears
When a good man bends
Till he drinks his pain
With his own two hands
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the rain got loud
On the sheet metal roof
Every drop says
What I’m trying to lose
If hurt was a road
I’d know every mile
I been driving that road
With a cracked-up smile
[Chorus]
Empty porch, empty heart
You left me in the dark
Empty porch, empty heart
I fall apart, fall apart
(Empty porch)
(Empty heart)
You broke the man
I thought I was
[Bridge]
I ain’t proud
Of the nights I lost
Talkin’ to the moon
Like it knew the cost
But I’m still here
Though I’ve been reduced
To a hollow home
And a tangled truth
[Final Chorus]
Empty porch, empty heart
You left me in the dark
Empty porch, empty heart
I fall apart, fall apart
(Empty porch)
(Empty heart)
I’m learnin’ how
To live with scars
Empty porch, empty heart
But I’m still here
But I’m still here
