Empty Side of the Bed

[Verse 1]

Half a pillow still unslept on

All this room

And it’s too much

Your sweater on the chair

Sleeves reaching out like hands

I talk into the quiet air

Like you might understand

[Chorus]

There’s an empty side of the bed

Where your heartbeat used to echo in my chest (oh)

Every shadow spells your name

Every silence hits like something you said

I keep reaching out in the dark

To a memory I can’t hold again

I’m surrounded

Surrounded

By the empty side of the bed

[Verse 2]

Friends say

“Come outside”

I scroll and never type

Their laughter lives in tiny screens

I fade between the lines

I dress up for the mirror

Pretend I’m someone brave

But every step toward the door

Feels like walking past your grave

[Chorus]

There’s an empty side of the bed

Where your heartbeat used to echo in my chest (yeah)

Every shadow spells your name

Every silence hits like something you said

I keep reaching out in the dark

To a memory I can’t hold again

I’m surrounded

Surrounded

By the empty side of the bed

[Bridge]

If I strip the sheets

Would it strip you from me?

If I burn these dreams

Do I finally sleep? (oh)

Tell me how to miss you

And still save myself

When all that I am now

Is where you once felt

[Chorus]

There’s an empty side of the bed

Where your heartbeat used to echo in my chest

Every shadow spells your name

Every silence hits like something you said

I keep reaching out in the dark

To a memory I can’t hold again

I’m surrounded

I’m surrounded

By the empty side of the bed

By the empty side of the bed (oh)

By the empty side of the bed
