hurt

Title: Empty Rooms . [Verse 1] The driveway is empty, the porch light is dim I’m sitting here drowning, forgot how to swim. I watched the taillights fade, saw the kids in the glass Wondering how a forever could turn into the past. I built this life like a fortress, thought the walls were thick But the silence in this kitchen makes me feel physically sick. No more "Daddy’s home," no more feet on the floor Just the echo of the lock when you shut that door. [Chorus] I got a heart too big for this empty space Trying to find some peace, but I can’t find a trace. I’m a king without a kingdom, a man on his own Building up a family just to end up alone. Yeah, the house is still standing, but the home is gone Trying to find the strength just to make it to dawn. [Verse 2] I look in the mirror, see a man I don’t know Got all this love to give, but nowhere for it to go. I was their anchor, I was your steady rock Now I’m just ticking time on a broken-down clock. Every toy left behind is a blade to the chest I gave you my soul, I gave you my best. Now I’m pacing these rooms, talking to the walls Waiting for a phone light, waiting for the calls. They say time heals the wound, but the cut is too deep When I’m losing the only people I was supposed to keep. [Chorus] I got a heart too big for this empty space Trying to find some peace, but I can’t find a trace. I’m a king without a kingdom, a man on his own Building up a family just to end up alone. Yeah, the house is still standing, but the home is gone Trying to find the strength just to make it to dawn. [Outro] (Piano fades out slowly) Just me and the shadows now... Still got the heart... Just no one to hold it. (Silence)
