Empty Spaces Songtext
von Sam Fender

There′s something here in the water
Hear all the kooks outside
The end of the line, forgotten folk
Screaming out on a desperate night
There's something dark about this hotel
It just don′t feel right
It's got a history that I read about
Left my stomach in a knot all night

I caught a glimpse of the sadness
So shocked, it was my resting face
I know it was I who pulled the trigger
But I'm confused and out of place

It′s so weird that we′re strangers
When you were all I had
I've been trying to fill this void in me
Since I was a young lad

It′s gonna take a really long time
To forgive all of my failures
And fill up all these empty spaces


I had a call with my mother
I barely called her at all
I can hear all the beeps of the machinery
Nurses chattering on the ward
I got a stutter and a shaky hand
And a fat lump in my throat
But I was taught real good how to push it down
So far down, it's like a stomach bug

My friend sent a video
Of his five-year-old girl in bed

Terrified she′d be alone someday
And I just fell to pieces
He keeps kicking the can of
Mortality down the line
There's a reason why heaven was made up
She′ll worry her little heart out
Just like the rest of us

It's gonna take a really long time
To forgive all of my failures
And fill up all these empty spaces
It'll take a really long time
To forgive all of my failures
And fill up all these empty spaces
