[Verse 1]
Cold air on my neck
Coat on the chair where you left it
Mouth full of words I never said
They hang like dust in the sunlight
Wall clock clicks too loud
Every second feels like sirens
I talk to the space on your side of the bed
Just to hear something answer
[Chorus]
I’m fading away in this empty room
Calling your name in the quiet
Silence is cruel
It knows what I’ve done
It echoes my regret back
Violent
If you could see me now
Shaking in the dark like this
I’m fading away in this empty room
Drowning in the things I missed
[Verse 2]
Your glass on the sink
Lipstick ghost on the rim
I trace it once
Then I flinch
Like I burned myself again
Hear cars in the distance
Swear I hear your laugh in the traffic
I open the door to an empty hall
And swallow the panic
[Chorus]
I’m fading away in this empty room
Calling your name in the quiet
Silence is cruel
It knows what I’ve done
It echoes my regret back
Violent
If you could see me now
Shaking in the dark like this
I’m fading away in this empty room
Drowning in the things I missed
[Bridge]
Did you wait for me?
Did I take too long?
Every “I’ll change”
Came out wrong
I keep blaming time
But it’s on my hands
I let you slip right through them
(grain by grain)
[Chorus]
I’m fading away in this empty room
Calling your name in the quiet
Silence is cruel
It knows what I’ve done
It echoes my regret back
Violent
If you could see me now
Shaking in the dark like this
I’m fading away in this empty room
Fading where you used to exist
