The Words She Said

Verse 1

Streetlights flicker, another sleepless night

Sweat on my pillow from trying not to fight

Packed up her suitcase, slammed the old door

Left me with silence I've never felt before

Pretend-Pre-Chorus

I punch through the darkness searching for her name

Every smile I've painted now washed away in rain

All of these faces keep slipping from view

I reach for my lifeline, but I can't break through

I have left are the words she said

Echoing loud in my empty bed

Friends fading fast, family gone to gray

I'm just a shadow who lost his way

Post-Chorus

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh

Verse 2

Photos on the mantel, dust settling in

Laughter in the hallway, now swallowed by the wind

Tried to call my brother, no answer again

Love and the faces I knew spinning down the drain

Pre-Chorus

I remember the light in the morning sun

How we promised forever, how we had just begun

But the sky turned cold and the bridge came undone

Now I'm falling alone, nowhere left to run

Chorus

All I have left are the words she said

Echoing loud in my empty bed

Friends fading fast, family gone to gray

I'm just a shadow who lost his way

Post-Chorus

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh

Verse 3

The kitchen clock is ticking like a countdown to nowhere

I keep her number in my phone but I don't dare

The neighbors pass right by me like I'm made of glass

Three years gone and I'm still stuck in the past

Pre-Chorus

I remember the sound of my mother's laugh

Now it's just a memory I can't get back

Every door I knock on stays bolted and cold

I'm a stranger in the story my life used to hold

Chorus

All I have left are the words she said

Echoing loud in my empty bed

Friends fading fast, family gone to gray

I'm just a shadow who lost his way

Post-Chorus

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh

Bridge

If I could turn it all around

Dig up the love they put in the ground

I'd build a fire bright enough to start

A second chance inside this heart

But the burning in my chest just grows

The only thing I've learned is letting go

Guitar Solo

Chorus

All I have left are the words she said

Echoing loud in my empty bed

Friends fading fast, family gone to gray

I'm just a shadow who lost his way

Post-Chorus

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh

Outro

Streetlights flicker, another sleepless night

Sweat on my pillow from trying not to fight

If I could find the road back home

Maybe I wouldn't have to walk alone

Outro Chant

Walk alone

(Walk alone)

Walk alone

(Walk alone)

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh
