Lyrics
Verse I
The silence is loud and it's at full blast,
Pictures on the wall from kinder to your high school class,
To the right are the marks where we measured your height,
I still sit on the rocker where I sang to you at night,
Pre CH
The simple things are what we miss the most,
Those simple things are what makes it our home,
CH
We knew that you would leave one day,
We never thought it would feel this way,
You'll always have a home with us,
In this empty nest we share,
Please understand you're our little girl,
For you we only want the best,
At least we have great memories as a family,
In this empty nest,
Verse II
Mom and I have started to date again,
Without the worries of leaving you with a friend,
It's a way for us to cope so we won't feel alone,
We know we raised you well and you'll be fine on your own,
Pre CH
This is the next chapter in all our lives,
With new hopes and dreams that will come in time,
CH to Bridge
Days went by we dried our eyes with you on our mind,
But that loneliness was filled accepting it's a part of life oh,
Outro
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, in this empty nest, 2x
