Lyrics

EMPTY ©2026 F. Mayes, T. Strickland

This house is so empty, now that you’re gone. Don’t know if it’s night or if it’s day.
Sink full of dishes. The bed’s not been made. I’m standing in the doorway.
Hopelessly hoping, you could come home. Watching the colors turn to gray.

We had some good years. Sharing our lives. I never thought it would end.
Days run together, nights last forever. Well meaning wishes from old friends.
It’s nice people care, about my despair. But, you’re not coming home again.

Like a fool I went to the place, that we used to share.
But the room seemed so hollow and bare.
Memories start to fade, time comes crashing in on me.
Empty room, empty table, empty chair.

I pull in the driveway. It starts to hit home. Because your car is not there.
I’d give anything, to have you back. So many reminders everywhere.
Empty room, empty table, empty chair.
Empty room, empty table, empty chair.
Empty room, empty table, empty chair.
