Empty Spaces

[Intro] [Verse 1] Sunlight paints patterns on the floor Just like it did before you closed the door This quiet house, it echoes loud A hollow sound beneath the cloud I trace the lines on your old chair Imagining you sitting there A photograph, a faded smile Stretching across the lonely mile [Chorus] Oh, I miss you like the sky misses rain Like a melody caught in a silent refrain This ache inside, a constant hum Wishing that you would just come home The space you left, it's deep and wide With every sunset, every tide I'm reaching out across the years Swallowing down these silent tears [Verse 2] I found the book you left half-read Beside the pillow on our bed Your favorite mug sits cold and clean A simple, ordinary scene That cuts right through to bone and soul Leaving me feeling far from whole I hear your laugh in crowded rooms Chasing away the gathering glooms [Chorus] Oh, I miss you like the sky misses rain Like a melody caught in a silent refrain This ache inside, a constant hum Wishing that you would just come home The space you left, it's deep and wide With every sunset, every tide I'm reaching out across the years Swallowing down these silent tears [Bridge] Does the wind carry whispers where you are? Do you see the same lonely star? Are there moments, sudden and brief, Where missing me brings you relief? Or is it just this endless space, This quiet, heavy, waiting place? [Chorus] Oh, I miss you like the sky misses rain Like a melody caught in a silent refrain This ache inside, a constant hum Wishing that you would just come home The space you left, it's deep and wide With every sunset, every tide I'm reaching out across the years Swallowing down these silent tears [Outro]
