[Intro]
(So I'll scream it to this empty room)
[Verse 1]
You’ve got all the time in the world until you don't
I was betting on forever, but forever comes and goes
Never thought I'd have to know you as a memory
Now I’m rehearsing all the things I'd say if you were in front of me
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd tell you that I love you, I miss you, I wish you were here
Maybe if I shout it loud enough, you might hear
[Chorus]
I'll talk to the walls, I'll tell them the truth
Have a heart-to-heart with the ceiling 'cause I can't with you
I got all this love, but what good does it do?
If I'm all alone, so I’ll scream it to this empty room
Hoping it’ll get to you
[Verse 2]
I think I heard the curtains whispering your name
And the pain has started running like the tears across my face
And I don't know if it’s helping, but I don't think I can help it
'Cause there's a million things I didn’t get to say
[Pre-Chorus]
Like how much I love you, I miss you, I wish you were here
Maybe if I shout it long enough, you'll appear
[Chorus]
So, I'll talk to the walls, I'll tell them the truth
Have a heart-to-heart with the ceiling 'cause I can't with you
I got all this love, but what good does it do?
If I'm all alone, so I'll scream it to this empty room
Hoping it'll get to you, you, you, ooh
[Bridge]
I don't know where you are
But I know that a little bit of you is in every part of me
I don't know where you are
But I hope that a little bit of you is out there missing me
[Chorus]
I'll talk to the walls, I'll tell them the truth
Have a heart-to-heart with the ceiling 'cause I can't with you
I got all this love, and it's probably no use
But I'm all alone, so I'll scream it to this empty room
Hoping it'll get to you

July 3rd 2015. I was working in a call centre in my hometown when I received a personal call from my mum to head to Scotland because my nana took a turn for the worse. By the time I left work to pack my bag, I get a call saying my nana took her last breath. My life forever changed in that moment: th...
