Empty Living Room

Lyrics

Verse 1
Coffee gone cold on the table
Your hoodie still hangs by the door
Your hair on my pillow like proof
You were here the night before

Chorus
Now this house is just an echo
Every room remembers you
I keep talking to your shadow
Like it’s something I can hold onto
I said I’m fine
I’m not
I said I’d heal
I won’t
In this empty living room
I swear your leaving broke my home

Verse 2
I washed all your plates in the kitchen
But your laughter won’t rinse from the sink
Your name keeps on burning my tongue
Every time I try not to think

Chorus
Now this house is just an echo
Every room remembers you
I keep talking to your shadow
Like it’s something I can hold onto
I said I’m fine
I’m not
I said I’d heal
I won’t
In this empty living room
I swear your leaving broke my home

Bridge
You took your books
Your plants
Your records
I kept the quiet and the dust
We were a war I wanted losing
If it meant that you stayed with us (oh)

Chorus
Now this house is just an echo
Every room remembers you
I keep talking to your shadow
Like it’s something I can hold onto
I said I’m fine
I’m not
I said I’d heal
I won’t
In this empty living room
Every broken frame
Every bleeding room
In this empty living room
I swear your leaving broke my home
