Too Much Room
by Emily Richards (RillRiver Publishing ASCAP)
Home late again tonight
He's not here
I feel him here anyway
Get the mail and read
Feed the cat
Clutch the silence alone
Just like that
No more Thursday night TV
No more golf games on Saturday
Not much laundry now
Fewer dishes
Wipe the tears away
Miss his kisses
Open the window
Let go of my hand
Don't keep saying you love me
Over again
I need to see you turn away
There's too much room here
And I shouldn't stay
I still see his face and feel his hand
When I close my eyes
And I believe the sun still burns overnight
I asked for time and he gave me time
Now I know I'm right
When I finally get home
I still look for his car
All I want is his smile and hello
I don't wish much
But I don't know what I need
All I know is I'm stupid and incomplete
But I still say
Open the window
Let go of my hand
Don't keep saying you love me
Over again
I need to see you turn away
Open the window
Let go
Don't keep saying you love me
Over again
I need to see you turn away
There's too much room here
And I shouldn't stay
Too much empy time too much lonely space
There's too much room here
And I shouldn't stay
I, I can't walk away
I must run
I shouldn't stay
There's too much room here
And I shouldn't stay
