My Heart's Empty Room

The sun comes through the broken blinds, But it can't warm this soul of mine. Your picture hangs where it always stood, Like time still thinks you're coming home. The silence has become my friend, A lonely song that never ends. Every wall still holds your name. Nothing here has really changed. I can lock every door, But I can't keep your memory Out. My heart's empty room Still echoes with your love. Every shadow on these walls feels Like your gentle touch. Though the world keeps moving on, I'm still standing where you've gone. Every lonely night finds me Inside my heart's empty Room. The old piano lost its song. The fire hasn't burned for long. I still reach across the bed For the warmth that's only in my head. People tell me healing comes One slow day at a time. But every sunrise only shows another Place where you're not mine. If heaven opens just one door, I'll walk through without fear. Because a love like ours never dies, It only disappears from here. My heart's empty room Still keeps a place for you. Every prayer, every tear Carries me back to the truth. Though the years may change my face, They'll never take your place. Until my final breath is through, You'll live inside my heart's Empty room. Some rooms are empty Because people leave. Some stay full Because love never does.
