Title:
“Empty Streets”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
G Em
Walking down these empty streets,
C D
Where our dreams used to meet.
G Em
Memories swept under the concrete,
C D
Like fallen leaves beneath our feet.

(Chorus)
G D Em C
Empty streets, empty hearts,
G D Em C
Where did we lose our spark?
G D Em C
Empty streets, empty lives,
G D Em C
Lost in this endless night.

(Verse 2)
G Em
Underneath the cold moonlight,
C D
We used to set the night alight.
G Em
Now it’s just empty streetlights,
C D
Shading old stories in their light.

(Chorus)
G D Em C
Empty streets, empty hearts,
G D Em C
Where did we lose our spark?
G D Em C
Empty streets, empty lives,
G D Em C
Lost in this endless night.
