Song Description
Everything in my day drives home the fact that I am alone and that you are gone. The house is empty. I have no one to talk to about my day. I am a party of one at restaurants, the bed is all mine, I am alone at the movies. All of this is hard on me but I'm okay. I'm going to go through the motions of being okay until I actually am okay.

Lyrics
woke up again with the tv still on
it fills the space left with your voice gone
cold cereal, morning paper & juice
crossword and pen; but no help with the clues
Chorus
so I'll try to pretend when my day begins
that my heart is full like my home
but it echoes inside, all these weeks without you
empty bed, table for one
I'm no good at being alone but I'm walking on
the me in the glass reflected on the bus
Quiet and weak but inside weathered and tough
personal calls dropped to mom and a friend
no one to rush to when the day?s at an end
Chorus
well it's painfully clear that you're no longer here
a small popcorn and a coke
it?s dark and it?s cold but I?ll have to make do
empty bed, table for one
I'm no good at being alone but I'm walking on
Bridge
there are times that I feel close to giving in
to the screaming underneath my breath
I let it out in quiet sighs, dig deep
and walk out in the world again
head high and I
will feel the sun around the bend
Chorus
so maybe I'll see what I want to believe
that I'm fine, that I'm getting strong
that I am okay, that I really don't mind
empty bed, table for one
I'm no good at being alone but I'm walking on
I?m walking on, and on and on and on
Walking on
