Your Empty Chair

Your Empty Chair

Verse 1

I grow silent as we argue
And though the tide raises all ships
No one comes to the rescue
As the iceberg hits

Giving up would be easy
But it's something I just can't do
I love you so very deeply
I don't want normal I just want you

Prechorus 1

Why do I do it?
Why do I chase this silly dream?
I do it because it means
The world to me

Chorus

Do you remember me practicing religiously
All alone in our bedroom always working instead of living
You held your breath and pouted
We jousted as you doubted and shouted

Our box got pretty crowded

Music was all you left me
That's all that's here among the debris
Night after night I still pretend you're there
And I sing faithfully to your empty chair

Always singing to your empty chair
Pretending that you're there

Verse 2

Do you really not understand
Who I am every night
Do you really not give a damn
Though you see how hard I try

I never ever changed
Cuz it's something I just can't do
I've always been the same
I always stayed right here with you

Chorus 2

Do you remember me practicing religiously
All alone in our bedroom always working instead of living
You held your breath and pouted
We jousted as you doubted and shouted

Our box got pretty crowded

Music was all you left me
That's all that's here among the debris
Night after night I still pretend you're there
And I sing faithfully to your empty chair

Always singing to your empty chair
Pretending that you're there

Bridge

Why did you just smile at me?
Have you suddenly fallen in love again
With my dreaming?

Extro

Just by breathing
You gave me everything
But when you asked me not to dream
All I could do was watch you leave

So now all that's left over there
Is your empty chair
