(Verse 1)
The coffee’s still sitting, two cups on the shelf
But I’m only pouring a drink for myself
The sunlight is crawling across the wood floor
Like it’s looking for footprints that aren't there anymore
I reach for your hand in that half-asleep haze
But I’m touching the space where we spent all our days.
(Pre-Chorus)
The silence is louder than the city outside
There’s nowhere for all of these memories to hide
I’m over the crying, I’m over the shock
But I’m still terrified of the hands on the clock.
(Chorus)
waking up lonely is the hardest part
It’s the cold morning shiver that breaks through my heart
The world keeps on moving, the sky’s getting blue
But I’m stuck in the moment I’m looking for you
Yeah, the dreaming is easy, it’s the opening eyes
To a house full of echoes and hollow goodbyes
It’s the waking up lonely...
That’s keeping me broken inside.
(Verse 2)
I left your old sweater right there on the chair
Sometimes I swear I can still smell you there
I check my phone just to see if you called
Then I stare at the shadows that dance on the wall
It’s funny how heavy a pillow can feel
When the ghost of your presence is all that is real.
(Pre-Chorus)
The silence is louder than the city outside
There’s nowhere for all of these memories to hide
I’m over the crying, I’m over the shock
But I’m still terrified of the hands on the clock.
(Chorus)
waking up lonely is the hardest part
It’s the cold morning shiver that breaks through my heart
The world keeps on moving, the sky’s getting blue
But I’m stuck in the moment I’m looking for you
Yeah, the dreaming is easy, it’s the opening eyes
To a house full of echoes and hollow goodbyes
It’s the waking up lonely...
That’s keeping me broken inside.
(Bridge)
They say that the mornings get better with time
That I’ll learn how to breathe, that I’ll learn how to climb
But right now the ceiling is all I can see
And the bed feels like miles between you and me.
(Chorus)
Yeah, waking up lonely is the hardest part
It’s the cold morning shiver that breaks through my heart
The world keeps on moving, the sky’s getting blue
But I’m stuck in the moment I’m looking for you
Yeah, the dreaming is easy, it’s the opening eyes
To a house full of echoes and hollow goodbyes
It’s the waking up lonely...
That’s keeping me broken inside.
(Outro)
Just waking up lonely.
Another day without you.
Another sun coming up on a room that’s too quiet.
Waking up lonely...
