Empty and Lost

[Verse]
I stand by the river where we used to meet,
The water flows steady, but I feel defeat.
Our first kiss still lingers, warm on my mind,
Now it’s a memory I’m leaving behind.
[Verse 2]
The old oak tree where we carved our names,
Stands strong and steady, but it’s not the same.
I reach for your hand, but there’s only the breeze,
Whispers of "I love you" lost in the leaves.
[Chorus]
Empty and lost, I wander alone,
A ship on the ocean, forgettin' its home.
Your love was the light that guided my way,
Now I’m adrift in the dark every day.
[Verse 3]
The diner still serves your favorite tea,
I sit by the window, but it’s just me.
The jukebox is quiet, no songs to reveal,
The ache in my chest, the hole that I feel.
[Bridge]
I pray for the strength to let go of the past,
But moving on feels like running too fast.
Each step that I take feels heavy as stone,
Without your love, I’m a house without a home.
[Chorus]
Empty and lost, I wander alone,
A ship on the ocean, forgettin' its home.
Your love was the light that guided my way,
Now I’m adrift in the dark every day.
