Nobody came tonight

Intro

The lights are on

The music plays

Funny how quiet

A room can get

Verse 1

I hung the stars across the ceiling

Tied silver ribbons to the door

I saved a seat for every shadow

But nobody came anymore

I wrote your names in glitter letters

Put little wishes on the wall

Now all these pretty decorations

Feel like they're laughing as they fall

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I cared too hard

Maybe I asked too much

Maybe this empty room

Was written in the cards

Chorus

Nobody came tonight

So I dance beneath the lights

Spinning around this hollow space

With nothing left to lose

Let the music shake the floor

I don't need you anymore

If my heart wants to break

I'll turn the pieces into glitter

Verse 2

The candles flicker like they're nervous

The frosting's melting on the cake

I hear the clock counting the seconds

Of every promise you didn't make

I dressed myself in something golden

Just to vanish in the glow

Guess the strangest kind of lonely

Is being somewhere people know

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm better alone

Maybe that's what I need

I'll rule this palace of the silence

Let the lonely flowers bloom for me

Chorus

Nobody came tonight

So I dance beneath the lights

Spinning around this hollow space

With nothing left to lose

Let the music shake the floor

I don't need you anymore

If my heart wants to break

I'll turn the pieces into glitter

Bridge

Smile for the picture

Wave at the crowd

Nobody's watching

So I scream it out loud

I'm not invisible

I'm not erased

Even if nobody

Showed up today

Final Chorus

Nobody came tonight

But I'm still alive

I raise my glass to myself

Under broken lights

Let the confetti fill the air

Let it fall into my hair

This was supposed to be my ending

But I'm starting over here

Outro

The lights are still glowing

The cake is still sweet

Nobody came tonight

So tonight belongs to me
