LITSOXX - WITHOUT A TRACE

INTRO

LETTER 2 THE DEAD

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Two empty chairs at the table
(Two empty chairs)

[Verse 1]
Grew up with just mama, never knew my pops
Questions in my head that just never stop
See other kids getting picked up from school
Dad teaching baseball, man I feel like a fool
Mama did her best, worked them double shifts
But I still wonder 'bout the love that I missed
Two empty spaces where they both should be
One left early, one just ain't with me

[Chorus]
Two empty chairs at the dinner table
Wish I had both, but I ain't able
Half of me missing, half of me gone
Been incomplete for way too long
Two empty chairs, they haunt my mind
Looking for love I'll never find
Mama and daddy, that's all I need
Two empty chairs still make me bleed
(Make me bleed, yeah)

[Verse 2]
Friends talk 'bout their family trips and such
I just sit quiet, don't say too much
Christmas morning, presents under the tree
But something's missing, just mama and me
She tries to fill both roles but can't
Sometimes I see her cry, she thinks I can't
Father's Day cards I never had to buy
Mother's Day twice 'cause she's my only tie

[Pre-Chorus]
Wonder what it's like to have 'em both around
Two voices calling when I make a sound
Two sets of arms to catch me when I fall
Instead I got one, or nothing at all

[Chorus]
Two empty chairs at the dinner table
Wish I had both, but I ain't able
Half of me missing, half of me gone
Been incomplete for way too long
Two empty chairs, they haunt my mind
Looking for love I'll never find
Mama and daddy, that's all I need
Two empty chairs still make me bleed

[Bridge]
I see his face sometimes in the mirror
Wonder if he thinks of me, wish it was clearer
And mama's tired eyes tell a story
Of doing two jobs, splitting up the glory
But love ain't something you can divide
With one parent missing, I feel hollow inside

[Chorus]
Two empty chairs at the dinner table
Wish I had both, but I ain't able
Half of me missing, half of me gone
Been incomplete for way too long
Two empty chairs, they haunt my mind
Looking for love I'll never find
Mama and daddy, that's all I need
Two empty chairs still make me bleed

[Outro]
Two empty chairs
(Two empty chairs)
Still make me bleed, yeah
(Still make me bleed)
