When somebody is missed. And nobody says a word. Would it make any difference?
lyrics
Words that should be said, go unspoken
There's an empty space in this room
Without you, this silence can't be broken
You've gone and won't be back soon.
CHORUS:
There's an empty chair at the table,
A space where someone should be
Instead, an elephant sits in the corner,
Which no-one seems able to see
This was meant to be a celebration
of how things have changed, what we've seen
but your absence destroys all elation
we're just left to think what could have been
(CHORUS)
If a tree falls in a forest,
with no witness, does it fall?
And if I shout at your empty chair,
would it make any difference?
(CHORUS)
