That chair still leans your way, like it's waiting on your coat
Kitchen clock talks too loud in a house that don't say much
There's a ring on the table where your whiskey used to rest
I don't wipe it clean no more, I let it sit with the rest
Ain't no slam of doors tonight, just a quiet kind of gone
Just an empty glass where your lips used to be
Little bit of burn, little bit of me
I ain't crying loud, I ain't on my knees
But this silence got a hold on me
Empty glass, don't lie to me
It remembers you better than me
Porch light flickers twice, like it's trying to speak your name
Screen door don't move no more, but I hear it just the same
Neighbors killed their TVs, even the street went still
It's the kind of night that leans in close and tells you what it will
I ain't chasing ghosts around, but they know their way back in
Just an empty glass where your lips used to be
Little bit of burn, little bit of me
I ain't breaking down, I just let it breathe
Let that quiet pour over me
Empty glass, don't lie to me
It remembers you better than me
I learned how to hold my ground without somebody holding me
Yeah, love don't always leave a sound, sometimes it just sets you free
But freedom got a bitter taste when it comes this slow
Now it's an empty glass and I let it stay
Ain't no need to wash you away
I'm still standing here, come what may
With that midnight truth I can't outrun
Empty glass done what it done
And I'm still here when the night is gone
Clock keeps talking, I let it talk
Ain't every silence meant to be fought
