Dinner For One

Verse

The wine's open on the counter, it's still full of air

Your favorite book is face down by the armchair

I put your picture in a frame with the sunset behind

Not to hold onto what we had left behind

The clock ticks slow where you used to sit

Familiar things don't make me miss you yet

Pre-Chorus

So why do I feel so much

Why does this silence still hurt so much

Maybe it's just the habit of having someone around

Chorus

Dinner for one, it's not the same

I'm eating off a plate with your name on it

Every bite is a ghost that won't subside

Dinner for one but I'd rather dine by your side

Verse

Your favorite cologne still lingers in the air

A memory that I don't want to chase away

The table's set, there's no one here to share

But I'm keeping it warm like we used to do when you stayed

Pre-Chorus

So why do I feel so much

Why does this silence still hurt so much

Maybe it's just the habit of having someone around

Chorus

Dinner for one, it's not the same

I'm eating off a plate with your name on it

Every bite is a ghost that won't subside

Dinner for one but I'd rather dine by your side

Bridge

Time to let go of the old and try

Maybe someday dinner will feel like mine alone

Not a reminder of what we used to be

Just something simple and easy as can be

Chorus

Dinner for one, it's not the same

I'm eating off a plate with your name on it

Every bite is a ghost that won't subside

Dinner for one but I'd rather dine by your side
