Nothin's Really There

[Verse 1]
I walk through the door at sunset, drop my keys on the kitchen table
The house is dark and empty, so I switch on the lights and cable
I open the refrigerator, and nothin's really there
I walk over to the pantry just to find that it's bare

[Chorus]
That's the way my life feels now, empty and alone
Four walls and a ceiling don't add up to a home
The TV keeps on talkin' but nobody really cares
I keep openin' doors inside my heart, and nothin's really there

[Verse 2]
There's paint still on my knuckles from another ten-hour day
I earn an honest livin' but it don't fill this empty space
One cup left in the sink from this mornin', one chair pulled out to eat
The only conversation is the TV talkin' back at me

[Chorus]
That's the way my life feels now, empty and alone
Four walls and a ceiling don't add up to a home
The TV keeps on talkin' but nobody really cares
I keep openin' doors inside my heart, and nothin's really there

[Bridge]
There's a Bible on the nightstand I ain't opened in a while
Dust across the cover like the dust on this old life
Maybe empty's just the room You leave so somethin' new can start
Lord, if You're still listenin', come and fill this empty heart

[Final Chorus]
That's the way my life felt then, but it don't have to stay
Four walls start feelin' like a home when Somebody knows your name
So I whispered in the quiet one simple, honest prayer
I opened one more door tonight, and Somethin' was really there

[Outro]
Nothin's really there... 'til Somethin's really there
