Empty Rooms

[Intro] Whispers in the hallway, cold and bare A silhouette of me, still breathing air [Verse 1] I walk these rooms, cold echoes all around Faces I know fade into the town If I call your name, do you hear it too? Or am I talking to the shadow I grew [Pre-Chorus] The night gets louder in a quiet tone A melody of being left alone [Chorus] I am with nobody when the lights go down Trying to hold a crowd that’s not around If love is a place, I’ve never found the door Loneliness keeps me coming back for more [Verse 2] Windows reflect a youth that’s lost its spark Dreams drift away like signatures in the dark I reach for a hand that isn’t there to hold A heart that’s tethered to a memory’s cold [Pre-Chorus] The night gets louder in a quiet tone A melody of being left alone [Chorus] I am with nobody when the lights go down Trying to hold a crowd that’s not around If love is a place, I’ve never found the door Loneliness keeps me coming back for more [Bridge] If your voice could carry through the rain Would it find me, would it ease the pain? A whispered line, a breath across the dark Two strangers listening for a hopeful spark [Chorus] I am with nobody when the lights go down Trying to hold a crowd that’s not around If love is a place, I’ve never found the door Loneliness keeps me coming back for more [Outro] So I’ll keep walking the long, quiet streets Waiting for a sound to break this sleep Until the morning paints a different view I’m here, a lone heart waiting for you
