[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Coffee’s cold in a chipped old mug,
Table’s set, but it’s just for one.
Walls hold echoes of laughs I crave,
But silence wins, it’s my only rave.
I watch the street where the world moves on,
Wishing for voices to break the dawn.
[Instrumental Break 1]
[Chorus]
Empty chairs, they mock my nights,
Dreams of friends in the morning light.
Every quiet cuts like a blade,
Longing for bonds that never fade.
Oh, I’m reaching for hands I can’t hold,
Stuck in a story that’s always cold.
[Verse 2]
Phone’s dead, no texts to read,
Scroll through feeds, but it’s not what I need.
See groups laugh in a bar’s warm glow,
I’m outside, just a shadow, you know.
Jacket’s thin, but the chill’s inside,
Carrying hopes that I can’t confide.
[Instrumental Break 2]
[Bridge]
I’d trade my songs for a single night,
With souls who stay till the stars burn bright.
To share a joke, to split a fear,
To know someone’s glad that I’m still here.
But the clock just spins, it don’t care,
Leaving me with these empty chairs.
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus - Variation]
Empty chairs, they haunt my days,
Dreams of friends in a golden haze.
Every silence stings like a thorn,
Missing the warmth of a bond unborn.
Oh, I’m calling to hearts I don’t know,
Lost in a quiet that only grows.
[Outro]
Dawn creeps in, but it’s cold and bare,
Still no one’s here for these empty chairs.
