EMPTY SPACE

**Verse 1**

Waking up at the crack of noon

Same four walls, same empty room

Scrolling through a life I used to know

But nothing feels like home anymore

I should leave, I should pack and move

Say I will, but I never do

Got a lot of things I never face

Just collecting dust in every space

Head so loud I can’t hear myself

Trying to act like I’m doing well

Empty bottles on the dresser line

Tryna fix what I can’t define

There’s a fine line between lost and fine

And I cross it every other night

I look in mirrors, don’t recognize

Who I became in all this time

---

**Pre-Chorus**

Is this temporary silence permanent?

Feels like I’ve been stuck inside this hurt again

And I don’t know if I’ll ever break through

But I still wake up and try to move

---

**Chorus**

I let you in, you let me drown

You watched me sink from solid ground

And I hate myself, I made this hell

But I can’t get over it, it still won’t settle

It’s all distorted, nothing feels real

I don’t even know what I’m supposed to feel

You were the calm I couldn’t keep

Now I’m just haunted when I sleep

---

**Verse 2**

I don’t really talk much, I just let it sit in my chest

Feelings on airplane mode, I forgot how to rest

Everybody says “you good?” I just nod like the rest

‘Cause explaining what I feel would just turn into a mess

I been tired of pretending I’m okay when I’m not

Smile for the moment then I lose what I got

Every memory hits but I still let it rot

Like I’m holding onto pain just to remember what I’ve got

I stare at my ceiling like it’s gonna reply

But it stays quiet every time that I try

I don’t even know if I’m living or just passing time

Some days I feel real, most days I feel out my mind
