Lyrics
EMPTY ROOM
WATCH HER CLIMB OUT OF BED
THEN GO ON DOWN THE HALL
ANOTHER MORNING IN A ROOM
WHERE NOTHING’S CHANGED AT ALL
LEFT IT THE WAY IT WAS
KIND OF A COMFORT FEELIN
AND THOUGH IT’S HARD IN THAT ROOM
IT’S PART OF THE HEALIN
LIFE’S BECOME THIS BIG EMPTY ROOM
WHERE IT HURTS US TO REMINISCE
LIFE’S BECOME THIS BIG EMPTY ROOM
FILLIED WITH MEMORIES OF WHO WE MISS
THERE’LL BE NO MORE BIRTHDAYS
HE’LL FOREVER BE 18
LIFE’S BECOME THIS BIG EMPTY ROOM
ONE BIG EMPTY ROOM
SIT WITH HER AT BREAKFAST
SHARIN COFFEE AND TEARS
TALKIN ABOUT MOMENTS
WE SHARED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS
SAYS NOTHING NOW SEEMS NORMAL
WONDERS IF IT WILL AGAIN
SHE’S BEEN TOLD IT’LL GET BETTER
BUT NO ONE CAN TELL HER WHEN
