(Verse 1)
The silence in this room is loud
It paints your absence in the air
I trace the edges of the crowd
And only see that you're not there
(PreChorus)
What am I left to do (I’m alone)
You’re gone and I can’t move on
Yeah I can’t move, I can’t move
What am I left to do
(Chorus)
Oh, the echo of what used to be
A ghost in every melody
I'm caught upon a lonely wire
Burned by the ash of my desire
You closed the door, you turned the page
And left me on this empty stage
Still feeling for a love that's done
Beneath a cold and fading sun
(Verse 2)
I see your face in passing cars
A trick of light, a cruel design
I look up at the same old stars
And wish your hand were still in mine
(Verse 3)
But every memory cuts so deep
The promises we couldn't keep
You moved ahead, you found your way
While I’m anchored in yesterday
(PreChorus)
What am I left to do (I’m alone)
You’re gone and I can’t move on
Yeah I can’t move, I can’t move
What am I left to do
(Chorus)
Oh, the echo of what used to be
A ghost in every melody
I'm caught upon a lonely wire
Burned by the ash of my desire
You closed the door, you turned the page
And left me on this empty stage
Still feeling for a love that's done
Beneath a cold and fading sun
(Bridge)
And I know that you don't feel the same
That you've forgotten how to say my name
I'm just a chapter you’ve filed away
While I relive that book every day
(Chorus)
Oh, the echo of what used to be
A ghost in every melody
I'm caught upon a lonely wire
Burned by the ash of my desire
You closed the door, you turned the page
And left me on this empty stage
Still yearning for a love that's done
Beneath a cold and fading sun
(Outro)
A cold and fading sun...
You're gone, you're gone
And I'm still hanging on.
Still hanging on
Still hanging on
And you’re gone
