Empty Chair

[Verse 1]
Your mug's still on the shelf
Blue paint on the rim
I keep it by the sink
Like you'll walk in again

The hallway knows your steps
I swear it still can tell
How you said my name
Like a prayer under your breath

[Pre-Chorus]
And I reach for you in the dark
Out of habit, out of love
My hand finds only air
But it still feels like enough

[Chorus]
Still here in the room
Still here in the room
In the empty chair
In the clothes you used to wear

Still here in the room
Still here in the room
I lost your hand
But I keep your light

[Verse 2]
The porch swing doesn't move
Unless the wind comes through
I sit there after rain
And save a place for you

Your old jokes cut through me
Then soften as they land
Grief comes like a tide
Then leaves me in the sand

[Pre-Chorus]
And I reach for you in the dark
Out of habit, out of love
My hand finds only air
But it still feels like enough

[Chorus]
Still here in the room
Still here in the room
In the empty chair
In the clothes you used to wear

Still here in the room
Still here in the room
I lost your hand
But I keep your light

[Bridge]
I don't know where you went
I only know the ache
Some days I can smile
Some days I break

But love don't end at goodbye
It stays in the grain
In the marks on the table
In the shape of your name

[Chorus]
Still here in the room
Still here in the room
In the empty chair
In the clothes you used to wear

Still here in the room
Still here in the room
I lost your hand
But I keep your light

[Outro]
So I leave the door cracked
Let the evening in
If I call your name
I know you'll live again
