The House Feels Empty Now

Verse 1

I still see your sweater on the chair,

Left just the way you tossed it there.

The morning light falls soft and thin,

But it’s colder now than it’s ever been.

Pre‑Chorus

And I keep thinking you’ll walk through

That old screen door like you used to do.

Chorus

But the house feels empty now,

Every room a little too loud.

I call your name without meaning to,

Still half‑believing you’ll answer somehow.

Oh, the house feels empty now,

And I’m learning how to live without you.

Verse 2

Your coffee cup is on the shelf,

I can’t bring myself to move it yet.

I take a drive just to clear my mind,

But every road leads back in time.

Pre‑Chorus

And I swear I hear your laughter

In the quiet after the day winds down.

Chorus

But the house feels empty now,

Every room a little too loud.

I call your name without meaning to,

Still half‑believing you’ll answer somehow.

Oh, the house feels empty now,

And I’m learning how to live without you.

Bridge

Maybe love is stronger

Than the years we get to share.

’Cause even though you’re gone,

I feel you everywhere.

Final Chorus

Still the house feels empty now,

Every room a little too loud.

I reach for you in the dark of night,

Holding on to whatever light I’ve found.

Oh, the house feels empty now,

But I’m learning how to live without you.
