BeatsByCollaxter - Empty Nest Lyrics

The silence speaks louder than words
And I'm left here with the quiet
I never thought I'd feel this alone

It's quiet in the house and the floors don't creak
Everything's just the way she left it
The bed feels too big and the silence fills the space she used to keep
She's been gone for six weeks now

I lie awake staring at that closet light
I used to curse it, praying she'd turn it off
And it hurts to remember
Oh God, I can't escape the memory

I find her in the quiet
In those long restless nights
It's an empty nest
But I've got a lot of room for mistakes

I'm sorry
Full tears ain't rose from the grave
Ain't got time
No more lines on my face
Cause I go to bed early

But the bed feels cold without her
Yeah, I go to bed early
Missing the warmth of her there
I hear your voice in the silence

Like a whisper I can't hold
I reach for you but you're fading
A love I'll never fully let go
The days pass by but you're still here

In every tear
In every prayer
Birds fly south
And the leaves fall

Shed their deaths
That's the life cycle
Oftentimes we get that phone call
Yeah, sometimes death comes early

Ah, mine was a beautiful blue-eyed woman
Lots of rain
But my heart knows the taste of tearless tears
And I don't hate it

Cause I still believe in heaven
Oh, I love when
When I remember
I'll never forget

I can't forget
My God
When I remember
I ache

Dreaming of her by my side
Oh God, come back to me
Those sweet summer nights
And now it's just me

With memories that never fade
I reach for the space where you used to be
But all that's left is emptiness I can't shake
I close my eyes and feel the weight of time

Still waiting for you to come back to me
But I'll wake
And you're not here
Just this emptiness I can't escape

Oh, my love
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
