[Verse 1]
Mug on the table
Dust on the frame
Your coat on the chair
Like it still knows your name
I talk to the silence
It answers in echoes
Of things we were too proud
To ever say out loud
[Chorus]
These empty rooms
Heavy heart
I keep walking in the dark
Switch on every light
But it
Doesn't touch the part
Where you used to breathe beside me
Soft as morning
Sharp as glass
These empty rooms
Heavy heart
Counting days that never pass
[Verse 2]
Your side of the bed
Still colder than winter
I sleep on the edge
Like I'm scared to remember
The clock keeps on dragging
Each second like sand
I reach for my phone
Then pull back my hand
[Chorus]
These empty rooms
Heavy heart
I keep walking in the dark
Switch on every light
But it
Doesn't touch the part
Where you used to breathe beside me
Soft as morning
Sharp as glass
These empty rooms
Heavy heart
Counting days that never pass
Mug on the table
Dust on the frame
Your coat on the chair
Like it still knows your name
I talk to the silence
It answers in echoes
Of things we were too proud
To ever say out loud
[Chorus]
These empty rooms
Heavy heart
I keep walking in the dark
Switch on every light
But it
Doesn't touch the part
Where you used to breathe beside me
Soft as morning
Sharp as glass
These empty rooms
Heavy heart
Counting days that never pass
[Verse 2]
Your side of the bed
Still colder than winter
I sleep on the edge
Like I'm scared to remember
The clock keeps on dragging
Each second like sand
I reach for my phone
Then pull back my hand
[Chorus]
These empty rooms
Heavy heart
I keep walking in the dark
Switch on every light
But it
Doesn't touch the part
Where you used to breathe beside me
Soft as morning
Sharp as glass
These empty rooms
Heavy heart
Counting days that never pass

Sparse, intimate piano ballad in a minor key, slow tempo. Close-mic male vocals, almost whisper-soft in the verses; chorus grows with doubled vocal and gentle reverb. Subtle string pad eases in on the second chorus for lift, then drops back to naked piano and voice on the outro for a fragile, lingering finish., ballad
