Lyrics

Verse 1

I counted every crack in the ceiling last night

Wondering if you ever counted mine

Your sweater still hanging where you left it on the chair

I swear I smell you everywhere

Pre-Chorus

And I'm drowning in the quiet of this house

Every breath I take is screaming out your name

Chorus

I miss the way you laughed at nothing at all

I miss the way you'd catch me when I'd fall

Now I'm just a ghost inside these walls

Hollowed out and barely standing at all

Post-Chorus

At all

At all

Verse 2

I saw your face in a crowd across the street today

Turned around and it was no one anyway

Stupid how the hope still cuts me deep

Like a wound that never learned to sleep

Pre-Chorus

And I'm tangled in the memory of us

Every part of me is begging you to stay

Chorus

I miss the way you laughed at nothing at all

I miss the way you'd catch me when I'd fall

Now I'm just a ghost inside these walls

Hollowed out and barely standing at all

Bridge

Maybe grief is just love with nowhere left to go

Maybe I'm just learning how to live alone

But the silence has a voice and it sounds like you

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do

Chorus

I miss the way you laughed at nothing at all

I miss the way you'd catch me when I'd fall

Now I'm just a ghost inside these walls

Hollowed out and barely standing at all

Post-Chorus

At all

At all
