Lyrics

The Disappearance of Us
©Schantell Wharton

(Verse 1)
Sunrise drippin' through the dusty window pane
Empty coffee cup, your side of the bed the same
Just a dent where your head used to be last night
Kiss goodbye whispered, bathed in fading light
(Chorus)
But this mornin' ain't like any other we've seen
No goodbye note, nothin' hangin' on the washing line, just me
Like a freight train screamin' through this heart already empty
The disappearance of us, a silence hangin' heavy
(Verse 2)
Your truck's gone, keys ain't on the usual hook
Checked the diner, the coffee shop, your favorite bookstore nook
Called your mama, your sister, ain't a single clue
Just a shiver runnin' down my spine, tellin' me somethin' ain't true
(Chorus)
But this mornin' ain't like any other we've seen
No goodbye note, nothin' hangin' on the washing line, just me
Like a freight train screamin' through this heart already empty
The disappearance of us, a silence hangin' heavy
(Bridge)
Did we fight last night?
Was there a word I left unsaid?
Did the fire we built finally dwindle down to ash instead?
(Chorus)
But this mornin' ain't like any other we've seen
No goodbye note, nothin' hangin' on the washing line, just me
Like a freight train screamin' through this heart already empty
The disappearance of us, a silence hangin' heavy
(Outro)
Empty. This house is empty. Where'd you go? Where'd we go?
The disappearance of us, a story yet untold, I don't know, I don't know
