All your things are still the same
The way they were that day
They’re waiting for the day that you return
Your little pals sit by the door
So sure you’re coming home
The truth I know they’ll never have to learn

I walk the streets we used to walk
I never see you there
And yet I go on searching every day
Sometimes I think I hear your voice
I’m just imagining
The mind can play the cruelest tricks that way

Empty spaces, empty places
Like the chambers of my heart
My world is just so empty without you
Empty spaces, empty places
Like the chair where you would sit
I just don’t know what I’m sp’osed to do

The days all run together
And I try to carry on
And do the things I always used to do
Pick up the phone to call you
Then I realize you’re gone
There’s just no getting over losing you

I close my eyes and go to sleep
I know I’ll see you then
But when I wake it all begins again
I realize that you’re not here
You’re never coming back
There’s never gonna be a where or when

Empty spaces, empty places
Like the chambers of my heart
My world is just so empty without you
Empty spaces, empty places
Like the chair where you would sit
I just don’t know what I’m sp’osed to do
