"I'm hiding from an empty chair.

Should've said I loved you.

Should've said I needed you.

Should've said should've said something but I left you bare.


I'm sorry that I hid from you.

I just didn't want you to see.

Now that you were next in line

Curtains shut across aligned

Didn't want to go but I still left with no goodbyes.


You gave me love,

You gave me faith.

And that is just why I had to leave this place.

The guilt eats me up inside so I try

To hide from this chair that I let you leave behind."
