An Empty Chair

Lyrics

I don't like the people staring at me like I'm a roadside wreck

I don't wanna have to explain to the ones who neck

I don't like that the mail with his name is still delivered here

I don't like that where he used to be is now an empty chair

My boy said

I don't want to sit down to dinner

It makes my stomach ache

I don't like he don't tuck me in

I don't want a birthday cake

When we both sit down to dinner the ache is everywhere

I don't like that where he used to be is now an empty chair

And I close my eyes

And it hurts the same

When you least expect

Everything can change

Everything can change

I don't want to keep my chin up and keep wondering what if

There are things you cannot get over you just learn to carry it

I don't wanna have to pack up all his things that still are here

I just want where he used to be to not be an empty chair

And I close my eyes

And it hurts the same

When you least expect

Everything can change

Everything can change

There's an empty chair in the kitchen there's a quiet in the house

People say that time will heal but I have my doubts

There's cold side to the bed and so I sleep downstairs

I don't want this empty chair

I don't wanna see the TV

Cover one more tragedy

This is not another hard luck story

It happened to me

People sit around lie to themselves

Until the tale becomes threadbare

The truth sounds like a gunshot and it looks like an empty chair

And I close my eyes

And it hurts the same

When you least expect

Everything can change

Oh and I close my eyes

Anat it hurts the same

In a flash of light everything can change

Everything can change

Everything can change
