Where You Used to Be Lyrics

Set the table in the half-light glow,

Plates aligned, but one remains alone.

Silence fills the air, a heavy breath,

I sit in echoes of a love once blessed.

Forks and knives, they dance with ghosts of cheer,

Your laughter haunts these walls, crystal clear.

Remembered moments clad in silver grace,

But now it's just my shadow in your place.

Oh, that empty chair, it speaks my heart,

Each night it pulls a seam, tearing apart.

Questions rise like steam, swirling in despair,

Can you hear me call your name, seated there?

Longing for the warmth, the spark we used to share,

But here I am, a prisoner of thin air.

Faded notes of promises we spun,

Days of joy now marred by what is done.

Secrets whispered under calendars of dreams,

Turned to crystal tears as memory redeems.

Guilt wraps 'round my soul like a blinding mist,

What if I could turn back time, take a risk?

These thoughts replay relentlessly in my mind,

Did I fail you in ways I cannot find?

Now I sit alone where you once shined bright,

Each silent meal, a testament to fight.

The chair a silent witness of my strife,

Holding remnants of a love that gave me life.

But here I gather strength from what we shared,

In solitude, I mend the heart I bared.

Oh, that empty chair, it speaks my heart,

Though it pulls the seams, tearing me apart.

Learning to accept the void, the love laid bare,

Hope emerges softly, wrapped in every prayer.

While I cherish you with every single tear,

In this emptiness, I find a path to bear.

So, I'll set the table, though you're not here,

That chair will always echo love sincere.

A symbol of the life, the laughter, and the pain,

In my heart, you'll always remain.

Though the space is vast, filled with fading air,

I'll hold you close, forever in that chair.
