Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Coffee cup One plate set Talking to the TV Just to fill the quiet Clock on the wall Dragging past midnight Every little creak Sounds like goodbye [Chorus] It's the lonely nights that get me When the dark starts asking why Every shadow on the ceiling Spells your name across the sky But the worst of all the heartaches When it really pulls me under Is your empty chair at Christmas And the New Year’s kind of thunder [Verse 2] Storefront wreaths Sparkling on Main Everybody laughing I just dodge the windowpane Your old sweater Still on that chair I swear I feel you breathing Then remember you're not there [Chorus] It's the lonely nights that get me When the dark starts asking why Every shadow on the ceiling Spells your name across the sky But the worst of all the heartaches When it really pulls me under Is your empty chair at Christmas And the New Year’s kind of thunder [Bridge] I make two plates on Thanksgiving (oh) Catch myself and put one back How do you toast to new beginnings When all you want Is what you had [Chorus] Yeah The lonely nights still get me When the dark starts asking why Every silence in this bedroom Feels like one more alibi But the hardest days to live through Are the ones we planned together All these holidays without you Turn forever into never
