Empty Room

Intro

mm-mm, ooh, yeah

Verse

Your jacket's on the chair like you never left (you never left)

The coffee's gone cold, the clock keeps stealing breath

There’s a photo in the frame but the eyes don't look the same

I trace the place you used to say my name

I keep picking up the pieces of a yesterday we made

Only my hands remember how to break

Pre-chorus

I tell myself it's over (it's over), I tell myself to be brave

But your voice finds the corners where I can't save the day (can't save the day)

I fold every memory into the pockets of my coat

And every time I reach inside, it's your ghost I still hold

Chorus

I keep reaching for you in an empty room (in an empty room)

I keep dialing old numbers, just to hear the line go through (go through)

I keep saying I don't miss you, I don't miss you, I don't miss you

But the silence answers back, oh-oh, the silence answers back

I keep reaching for you in an empty room (in an empty room)

I keep dialing old numbers, just to hear the line go through (go through)

I keep saying I don't miss you, I don't miss you, I don't miss you

But the silence answers back, oh-oh, the silence answers back

Verse

Your sneakers by the door, a note folded into two (into two)

Promises in handwriting that still spell out you

I play the song you hated, I pretend it's not a wound

The melody keeps folding me into the tune

Friends send little updates like they're keeping score

I smile and say I'm fine but I keep opening the door

Pre-chorus

I tell myself to stop (to stop), to let the pages fall

But every quiet corner still holds your name on the wall (on the wall)

I breathe a little deeper, I fake a steadier face

Then your laugh cracks the calm and I'm a long-lost place

Chorus

I keep reaching for you in an empty room (in an empty room)

I keep dialing old numbers, just to hear the line go through (go through)

I keep saying I don't miss you, I don't miss you, I don't miss you

But the silence answers back, oh-oh, the silence answers back

I keep reaching for you in an empty room (in an empty room)

I keep dialing old numbers, just to hear the line go through (go through)

I keep saying I don't miss you, I don't miss you, I don't miss you

But the silence answers back, oh-oh, the silence answers back

Bridge

I tried to burn the photographs but the smoke kept tracing you (tracing you)

I learned all of your shortcuts, the ones that let me through

Na-na, uh-huh, mm, yeah

How do I stop when every street still leads the same way home?

How do I stop when your keys are the only ones that fit the tone?

I don't know how to let you go, how to let you go

I don't know how to let you go, how to let you go

Chorus

I keep reaching for you in an empty room (in an empty room)

I keep dialing old numbers, just to hear the line go through (go through)

I keep saying I don't miss you, I don't miss you, I don't miss you

But the silenc
