James Arthur Empty Space

The song begins with him being in a sort of denial about missing his significant other. He describes “lying to himself” about all of the signs of this other person in day to day life. The chorus describes looking for love but struggling because only this other person can fill that space. He then speaks about drinking, overthinking, and other things he shouldn’t be doing in order to again.. fill the void. He starts to accept the fact that he may never see this other person again and blames himself for ruining it. The song ends with him asking how to make this person love him.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don’t see you
You’re not in every window I look through
And I don’t miss you
You’re not in every single thing I do
I don’t think we’re meant to be
And you are not the missing piece
I won’t hear it
Whenever anybody says your name
And I won’t feel it
Even when I’m burstin’ into flames
I don’t regret the day I left
I don’t believe that I was blessed
I’m probably lyin’ to myself, again

[Chorus]
I’m alone in my head
Looking for love in a stranger’s bed
But I don’t think I’ll find it
‘Cause only you could fill this empty space
I wanna tell all my friends
But I don’t think they would understand
It’s somethin’ I’ve decided
‘Cause only you could fill this empty space

[Post-Chorus]
Space, space
This empty space
Space, space
This—
‘Cause only you could fill this empty space

[Verse 2]
I’ve been drinking
I’ve been doin’ things I shouldn’t do
Overthinking
I don’t know who I am without you
I’m a liar and a cheat
I let my ego swallow me
And that’s why I might never see you again

[Chorus]
I’m alone in my head
Looking for love in a stranger’s bed
But I don’t think I’ll find it
‘Cause only you could fill this empty space
I wanna tell all my friends
But I don’t think they would understand
It’s somethin’ I’ve decided
‘Cause only you could fill this empty space

[Post-Chorus]
Space, space
This empty space
Space, space
This—
‘Cause only you could fill this empty space

[Outro]
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me? (Space)
How could I make you love me? (Space)
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me? (Space)
How could I make you love me? (Space)
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me? (Space, yeah, yeah, yeah)
How could I make you love me? (Space, yeah, yeah, yeah)
How could I make you love me?
