Lyrics
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Started with a dozen names in my phone
Now the screen stays quiet all alone
Every fallin out taught me somethin cold
Some bridges burn cause neither side would hold
I bit my tongue too long I admit it
They bit back harder I won't forget it
Pride on both sides cut the cord clean
Half of em gone and I'm still me
[Pre-Chorus]
Countin the chairs at the table
Watchin em empty out slow
Countin the names I still say
To nobody that I know
[Chorus]
Rooms got quieter every year
Bodies leave and the air stays clear
Rooms got quieter every year
I learned to live in the space right here
[Verse 2]
Ignorance ran both directions I know it
Mine and theirs we both helped blow it
I could blame the whole world for the split
But I signed my name on half of it
Now I move quiet through the room
Solo cup solo path solo tune
Learned to sit with my own reflection
That's a different kind of connection
[Pre-Chorus]
Countin the chairs at the table
Watchin em empty out slow
Countin the names I still say
To nobody that I know
[Bridge]
Maybe I burned it
Maybe they lit the match
Maybe we both struck
And neither looked back
Maybe I'm hollow
Maybe I'm free
Maybe the quiet
Is the friend I need
[Verse 3]
Started with a dozen names in my phone
Now the dial tone just hums alone
Some left quiet some left loud
Pride on both sides drew the shroud
Half of 'em I pushed half of 'em ran
Ignorance cut every hand
Now the silence sits and stares
I traded warmth for empty chairs
But my chest is calm and clear
Theres nothing left to lose down here
