Empty Room Lullaby

(humm) Your door is closed,

the hall is quiet now

They packed your books,

I don't know where or how

I sit and watch

the shadows on the floor

And wait for you

to walk back through the door

Downstairs they're yelling, slamming

every plate

I hide beneath the sheets,

it's getting late

I can't handle the shouting on my own

I never used to feel so much alone

When are you coming home?

They took your bed and made your bedroom gone

But I still feel the pain of where

you used to stay

Why did you have to go

so far away?

(where did you go?)

They paint the walls

a different shade of white

And act like everything is completely fine and right

But I still hear your laughter in the hall

While they pretend there's nothing there at all

I miss my best friend

I miss my sister (hummmm)
