Empty Rooms
Gary Moore Lyrics

Loneliness is your only friend.
The feeling of being alone is something that never deserts you,

A broken heart that just won't mend is the price you pay.
Pain that never goes away, even as the mind moves on to other things,

It's hard to take when love grows old.
As time wears on, relationships change and feelings fall away,

The days are long and the nights turn cold when it fades away.
As love disappears, time seems to slow and the cold of the night seems more empty,

You hope that she will change her mind, but the days drift on and on.
In the face of loss, hope alone is an unsteady guide,

You'll never know the reason why she's gone.
In the end, even reasons are elusive in the wake of greatest heartache,

You see her face in every crowd.
Even the slightest reminder leaves you reeling in memory,

You hear her voice, but you're still proud, so you turn away.
Out of pride or self-preservation, the response is a silent turning,

You tell yourself that you'll be strong. But your heart tells you, this time you're wrong.
It’s hard to fight a losing battle when the odds are stacked against you,

Empty rooms, where we learn to live without love.
The loneliest moments teach the hardest lessons,

All alone in an empty room.
Trapped in a scene of emptiness,

Loneliness is your only friend, hooh.
Devastating Loss can leave you trapped with no place to turn,

Oh, she's gone and you're at the end.
When the love of your life walks away, what else is there?
