Sky Olson - Empty Room Lyrics

He was a wide eyed good guy
That could sing a song and make you cry
If anyone deserved it, it was him
He sang his heart out to an empty room
Cuz sometimes that's all you can do
When the fire burns deep within you

Oooo it's an endless sea of broken dreams
Oooo the idea of that just kills me

Sometimes we reach for the stars when they're not shining
We question who we are when they're not lining
Up for us
Something must be wrong with us
They promised us the stars
But we can't see where they are

She was a little kid with big dreams
She could give you chills with her poetry
If anyone deserved it it was her
She got up on stage and realized nobody came
Except ma and pa, but that's ok cuz
There was not a dry eye in the empty room

Oooo it's an endless sea of broken dreams
Oooo the idea of that just kills me

Sometimes we reach for the stars when they're not shining
We question who we are when they're not lining
Up for us
Something must be wrong with us
They promised us the stars
But we can't see where they are

They say follow your dreams
But what the hell does that even mean
From a person with a million dollar beach house
They say, look at me, you can do it too
Like their sold out stadiums are any better than our empty rooms

Sometimes we reach for the stars when they're not shining
We question who we are when they're not
Lining up for us
But we don't need attention cuz
The empty room is good enough
It's good enough for us
