Empty Seat by the Window

Mmm, mmm

Empty seat by the window, you know, folded tight

Cold coffee on the table, neon bleeding through the night

I read the last few lines like they might change the room

But the silence sat there heavy, same as your perfume

You left before the rain could even start

Let me count another cracks in my heart

Cafe lights keep flickering slow and low

Like they know where the lost things go

There's an empty seat

And it's calling your name

A folded note in the window

But it's not the same

I keep replaying every word you wrote

While the city moves on and I choke on the hope

Empty seat

Empty seat by the glass, you are mine now and not in my past

Ash on the saucer, folded in with the doubt

Every little detail feels louder when you're not around

But reach to watch the counter, doesn't look my way

Like you've seen a hundred endings, land this same old grave

You left before the rain could even start

Left me counting all the cracks in my heart

Cafe lights keep flickering slow and low

Like they know where my lost things go

There's an empty seat

And it's calling your name

A 40-note in the window

But it's not the same

I keep replaying every word you wrote

While the city moves on and I choke on the hope

Empty seat

Empty seat by the glass

You were mine now and now you're my past

Maybe I should fold your note and let it go

Maybe love was just a room with no one home

But the beat in my chest still drags your bones

Through these late night streets

Where I miss you most

There's an empty seat

And it's calling your name

I fold it low in the window

But it's not the same

I keep replaying every word you wrote

While the same old song that I choked on for hope

Empty seat, empty seat by the glass

You were mine now and now you're my past

Empty seat by the window

Fold it low in a fade out glow
