Jake Worthington “A Lot of Room to Talk” Lyric Video

There's An Echo in This Room

It Just Won't Let Me Be

All The Angry Words To Her

They Keep Comin' Back To Me

I Can Hear Them In The Hall

Yeah, They're Bouncing Off The Wall

I Can't Believe Its Come To This

All This Emptiness

And A Lot Of Room To Talk

I Should've Listened More To Her

When She Was Still Around

I Guess I Got What I Deserve

I Sure Do Hear Her Now

What Good Is Pride Now That She's Gone

When Did Our House Stop Being Home

Now There's Too Many What Ifs, Opportunities I Missed

And A Lot Of Room To Talk

I Always Thought She'd Be Around

Never Planned On, Missin' Her

But In This New Life, That She's Found

Has Left Me Lost, For Words

There's an Echo In This Room

Until It Goes Away

I'll Look Into The Past

And Learn From My Mistakes

I'll Admit It When I'm Wrong

I'll Find The Strength & I'll Move On

Maybe I Can Grow From This

But For Now It's Emptiness

And A Lot Of Room To Talk

Oh, Maybe I Can Grow From This

But For Now It's Emptiness

And A Lot Of Room To Talk
