Starting From Empty

[Verse 1] You walked out Coffee still warm on the table Left your key Like a quiet little knife Four bare walls And an echo where your name was I touched the door Just to prove I’d survived [Chorus] I’m starting from empty But I’m standing up straight Heart got broken open Let the hurt escape You took all your shadows I kept all this space I’m starting from empty But I’m not erased [Verse 2] Your side of the closet Hangs heavy with nothing Dust in the sunlight Dancing where you’d dress I thought I’d crumble Thought I’d beg you to stay here But my hands stopped shaking As I cleaned up the mess [Chorus] I’m starting from empty But I’m standing up straight Heart got broken open Let the hurt escape You took all your shadows I kept all this space I’m starting from empty But I’m not erased [Bridge] One breath Then another One step Past our door If I can lose That kind of love What else Am I ready for? (yeah) [Chorus] I’m starting from empty But I’m standing up straight Heart got broken open Let the hurt escape You took all your shadows I kept all this space I’m starting from empty I’m starting from empty But I’m not erased
