Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You stood on that front porch Sun on your Sunday dress I handed you those flowers Tried to hide the mess You smiled and said, “Thank you” Like you always do I felt the ground go sideways Knew I was losing you [Chorus] Now I’m empty and lost, just an echo in a room Talkin’ to your shadow, starin’ at the moon You got the flowers, I got the thorns You walked away, I’m left torn This broken heart just keeps askin’ what it cost I’m empty So empty and lost [Verse 2] Your mug’s in my kitchen Lipstick on the rim Your coat’s on the chair back Like you might walk in I drive past your driveway Then pull off to cry Can’t seem to move forward Can’t turn back the time [Chorus] ‘Cause I’m empty and lost, just an echo in a room Talkin’ to your shadow, starin’ at the moon You got the flowers, I got the thorns You took the sun, I got the storm This broken heart just keeps askin’ what it cost I’m empty So empty and lost [Bridge] Some nights I swear I hear you Laughin’ down the hall (oh darling) But it’s just the old floor creakin’ And my heart recallin’ it all [Chorus] I’m still empty and lost, just an echo in a room Ask your ghost the same old questions, never any proof You got the flowers, I hold the stems Bleedin’ from rememberin’ them Till one day I don’t trace the lines of what we lost I’ll be empty So empty and lost

country, Dusty country-blues ballad, male vocals; brushed snare and woody upright bass under a slow, lonesome groove. Fingerpicked acoustic and a weeping slide guitar trade fills around the vocal. Verses stay hushed and close-mic’d; chorus swells with low harmonies and a faint organ pad. Final chorus strips back to voice and guitar, slide answering every line like a second, sorrowful singer., country blues, soul
