The room stands still, but the walls keep time,

I count the seconds till they turn to years.

You took the light, left the shadows behind,

Now even the daylight feels cold in here.

What do I do with the space where love burned,

When I still come home, but you don’t return?

It’s so empty, so empty in here,

Just a faded memory that won’t disappear.

Your coat’s still hanging, your shoes by the door

How can you be gone when this room’s still yours?

Yeah, it’s so lonely…

So lonely in here.

People in the street ask how I’ve been,

Like I should be ready to live again.

I’ve held the dying, seen life leave their eyes;

Don’t hand me your bullshit and call it advice.

When evening comes and the whole world goes still,

I face what the daylight helps me conceal.

It’s so empty, so empty in here,

Just a faded memory that won’t disappear.

Your coat’s still hanging, your shoes by the door

How can you be gone when this room’s still yours?

Yeah, it’s so lonely…

So lonely in here.

But nobody gets to take this fire from me;

I’ll find my way, even if I can’t see.

Let the fat cats count their money behind locked doors;

I’ve still got time for the ones they ignore.

I know what it is

To need someone to stay.

It’s so empty, so empty in here,

Just a faded memory that won’t disappear.

Your coat’s still hanging, your shoes by the door

How can you be gone when this room’s still yours?

And I call out your name, though there’s no answer there,

So much I never told you, now I tell the air.

If I have to move forward, the hurt can come too.

I’m learning to live…

But I won’t forget you.

So empty… so empty in here.

I close my eyes… and you’re still here.

So empty… but my heart beats on.

I don’t know where I’m going…

But I walk on.

Only echoes now…

And this heart…

Still beating.

[Fade to silence]
