Empty Room Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Said your name in an empty room
Said your name in an empty room
Something I would never do
Said your name in an empty room
Said your name in an empty room
Something I would never do
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m alone again
[Chorus]
When I’m by myself
I can be myself
And my life is coming
But I don’t know when
[Verse 2]
You were burning, now you’re black and gray
You were burning, now you’re black and gray
Something I would never say
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m alone again
[Chorus]
When I’m by myself
I can be myself
And my life is coming
But I don’t know when
Said your name in an empty room
Said your name in an empty room
Something I would never do
Said your name in an empty room
Said your name in an empty room
Something I would never do
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m alone again
[Chorus]
When I’m by myself
I can be myself
And my life is coming
But I don’t know when
[Verse 2]
You were burning, now you’re black and gray
You were burning, now you’re black and gray
Something I would never say
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m alone again
[Chorus]
When I’m by myself
I can be myself
And my life is coming
But I don’t know when
