I grow silent as we argue
And though the tide raises all ships
No one comes to the rescue
As the iceberg hits
Giving up would be easy
But it's something I just can't do
I love you so very deeply
I don't want normal I just want you
Prechorus 1
Why do I do it?
Why do I chase this silly dream?
I do it because it means
The world to me
Chorus
Do you remember me practicing religiously
All alone in our bedroom always working instead of living
You held your breath and pouted
We jousted as you doubted and shouted
Our box got pretty crowded
Music was all you left me
That's all that's here among the debris
Night after night I still pretend you're there
And I sing faithfully to your empty chair
Always singing to your empty chair
Pretending that you're there
Verse 2
Do you really not understand
Who I am every night
Do you really not give a damn
Though you see how hard I try
I never ever changed
Cuz it's something I just can't do
I've always been the same
I always stayed right here with you
Chorus 2
Do you remember me practicing religiously
All alone in our bedroom always working instead of living
You held your breath and pouted
We jousted as you doubted and shouted
Our box got pretty crowded
Music was all you left me
That's all that's here among the debris
Night after night I still pretend you're there
And I sing faithfully to your empty chair
Always singing to your empty chair
Pretending that you're there
Bridge
Why did you just smile at me?
Have you suddenly fallen in love again
With my dreaming?
Extro
Just by breathing
You gave me everything
But when you asked me not to dream
All I could do was watch you leave
So now all that's left over there
Is your empty chair
