Empty

I woke up to silence where your breathing used to be

The coffee’s still warm but you’re not here with me

One moment you were laughing, the next the world went black

They said it was sudden, but nothing could prepare me for that

Your toothbrush still stands by the sink

Your perfume lingers on the sheets

Every corner of this house

Still echoes with you

I miss you more than words can hold

More than the night can carry the cold

You’re gone in a heartbeat, but I’m still here

Drowning in the space you left so clear

Oh, my love, I miss you so

More than you’ll ever know

I still set two places at the table every night

Talk to your picture like you might reply

Your side of the bed is cold and wide

I reach for your hand and come up empty every time

Your favorite song plays on the radio

And I break down in the middle of the road

Everything we planned, everything we were

Now just ghosts in the air

I miss you more than words can hold

More than the night can carry the cold

You’re gone in a heartbeat, but I’m still here

Drowning in the space you left so clear

Oh, my love, I miss you so

More than you’ll ever know

If I could trade every tomorrow

Just to hold you one more day

I’d give the rest of my life away

Just to hear you say my name

I miss you more than the stars miss the sun

More than a life that’s only half begun

You’re gone in a heartbeat, but love doesn’t end

It just keeps breaking me over and over again

Oh, my love… I miss you so

More than you’ll ever know

The empty side of the bed

Still waits for you…

And so do I.
