Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I used to hum in empty rooms Talking to the shadows on my wall Laughing at my own small jokes Just to hear something at all [Verse 2] I used to sip my tea too slow Staring at a chair that stayed clean Saving half my stories For a stranger in a dream [Pre-Chorus] Thought I was fine I was floating Light on the surface Drifting in place Didn’t know what I was holding Till your smile walked into my space [Chorus] Before you There was silence (there was silence) Little gaps between the days I couldn’t name You put color in the quiet (color in the quiet) Now every empty corner knows your name You were the piece that I kept missing The open arms in every song I never sang Now we’re filling all the spaces All the spaces that I never knew I had [Verse 3] I used to fall asleep halfway Through every movie Every line ‘Cause no one there to lean into When the sad parts took their time [Verse 4] I used to cook for two Then one Left your side of the plate in my mind Setting down a second spoon Like a promise I couldn’t find [Pre-Chorus] I told myself I liked the quiet The single key hanging by the door Didn’t know what I was missing Till your footsteps found my floor [Chorus] Before you There was silence (there was silence) Little gaps between the days I couldn’t name You put color in the quiet (color in the quiet) Now every empty corner knows your name You were the piece that I kept missing The open arms in every song I never sang Now we’re filling all the spaces All the spaces that I never knew I had [Bridge] You: I was half a prayer Half a laugh Me: I was half a bed Half a path You: Now your toothbrush by my window Me: Your sweater on my chair Both: All these little living proofs That we were meant to share [Chorus] Before you There was silence (before you) Now our voices wrap around the same small room You put color in the quiet (you put color) Turned my lonely into something soft as June You were the piece that I kept missing The gentle hand that reached and never let me fall Now we’re filling all the spaces Every space Every space Now we’re filling all the spaces And I’m grateful I can’t find the edge at all
