Empty Side of the Bed
Title: “Empty Side of the Bed” (Verse 1) I found your perfume on a jacket that ain’t mine Lipstick on a coffee cup, two glasses of cheap wine You said you were working late again But his shadow’s in our hallway and I know where you’ve been I gave you every dollar that I couldn’t spare Skipped meals, worked doubles, just to show I cared While I was breaking my back for us to survive You were in somebody else’s arms every night (Pre-Chorus) I was fighting the world just to keep us afloat You were sinking my heart like a stone in a boat (Chorus) Now I’m staring at the empty side of the bed Hearing every promise that you never meant I was barely holding on, you were letting go Guess I was the last one to know I’ve been struggling just to breathe, just to stand With a broken heart and these calloused hands You said forever, but forever lied Now I’m alone with my pride (Verse 2) Remember sleeping in my car that winter cold? You said, “One day we’ll laugh when we’re growing old” I believed every word like it was gold Now they’re just echoes that cut my soul I pawned my guitar just to pay your bills Swallowed my dreams like a handful of pills While I was chasing hope down dead-end streets You were tangled up in someone else’s sheets (Pre-Chorus) I was fighting my demons, trying to be a man You were slipping away like I wouldn’t understand (Chorus) Now I’m staring at the empty side of the bed Hearing every promise that you never meant I was barely holding on, you were letting go Guess I was the last one to know I’ve been struggling just to breathe, just to stand With a broken heart and these calloused hands You said forever, but forever lied Now I’m alone with my pride (Bridge) Maybe I wasn’t rich, maybe I wasn’t strong Maybe loving you was where I went wrong But I gave you my scars, my name, my time All you gave me was a last goodbye Now the nights feel longer than they should And I’d still love you if I could But trust don’t grow back once it dies It just leaves a man hollow inside (Soft Chorus) I’m staring at the empty side of the bed Talking to ghosts inside my head I was barely holding on, you let me fall Guess I never knew you at all (Outro) So I’ll pick up these pieces you left behind Learn to live with a quieter mind I lost you, but maybe I’ll find The strength you took when you crossed that line.
