Empty Chair

Your coat still hangs by the door

And I trip on your shoes in the dark

Two cups on the shelf, one still warm

But the room feels cold at the heart

I keep hearing your laugh in the hall

Then I reach and there’s nothing at all

Every night, I come undone

Every night, I’m the only one

Empty chair, empty chair

You’re gone, but I still stare

Empty chair, empty chair

Why does it hurt everywhere? (everywhere)

I call your name, you’re not there

Empty chair, empty chair

I folded your shirt in the drawer

Found the note that you left by the sink

I was brave for a minute or more

Now I break down before I can think

I keep hearing your laugh in the hall

Then I reach and there’s nothing at all

Every night, I come undone

Every night, I’m the only one

Empty chair, empty chair

You’re gone, but I still stare

Empty chair, empty chair

Why does it hurt everywhere? (everywhere)

I call your name, you’re not there

Empty chair, empty chair

If love leaves scars, mine show

Right where your hands used to go

I tried to move, tried to be strong

But the missing keeps me hanging on

Empty chair, empty chair

You’re gone, but I still stare

Empty chair, empty chair

Why does it hurt everywhere? (everywhere)

I call your name, you’re not there

Empty chair, empty chair
