[Verse 1] Your mug still rings the sink Like you just stepped out Shoes by the door untouched I keep glancing down I fold your hoodie slow Like it might say my name But the room stays cold And nothing stays the same I talk to your photo frame Then I hate myself For asking dead air What I couldn't tell I said "I'll be there soon" You said "take your time" Now every clock in here Feels like a crime [Pre-Chorus] And I can't sleep When the sheets feel wrong I hear your laugh Then it's gone too long The ceiling stares I stare back hard I keep your voice In a cracked glass jar [Chorus] Empty chair tonight Still set for two Empty chair tonight I can't unsee you I call your name It cuts right through Empty chair tonight I'm still missing you [Verse 2] I drove past your old block Hands white on the wheel That red front porch Made the whole week feel real Your sister texted "you okay?" I typed "I'll try" Then erased the lie Cause I don't know why I found that train stub In your coat pocket seam Little paper ghost From a half-bad dream And I broke right there In the grocery lane With a cart full of nothing And your last name [Pre-Chorus] And I can't sleep When the nights won't end Every hallway bends Where you should've been I keep your jokes In the back of my mind But the joke's on me Cause I left you behind [Chorus] Empty chair tonight Still set for two Empty chair tonight I can't unsee you I call your name It cuts right through Empty chair tonight I'm still missing you [Bridge] If love could reach Through all this black I'd grab your hand And give you back One more dawn One more breath One more chance To cheat on death But grief don't bargain It just takes more It leaves your key In a slammed front door So I sit with the ache Let it bruise, let it burn Cause some goodbyes Never learn [Final Chorus] Empty chair tonight Still set for two Empty chair tonight I can't unsee you I call your name It cuts right through Empty chair tonight I'm still missing you Empty chair tonight I light the room Empty chair tonight There's still your perfume If love survives Then maybe you do Empty chair tonight I'm still missing you
