Empty

lyrics

It’s the space between the lines
It’s the pause before the rhyme
That delivers the worst kind of answer
It’s the thoughts we didn't share
Despite all the love and care
We would give, all too silently
Cause I saw the look in your eyes
Fight feelings you tried to disguise With words like you “didn’t crave”
“Oh I won’t make that mistake”

Then life sets in
Paths diverge, yellow roads
Our story unfinished but only told
Through our doubts, fears and shame
That echo something strange

I carry the weight of stories left untold
Filling in the details of holes that
I can’t accept empty
Please try and bear with me
My feelings go often unread
But I can’t keep living with feelings unsaid
Please forgive me
But I just can’t forget we

I wasn’t quite ready to say goodbye
There's never enough time in the world but I tried
To move on
Yet here I am writing this song
Please know I will always be there
There’s always the love that we shared
Even though I can’t predict the ending
Time flows but not without lending me a little space
To

Carry the weight of stories left untold
Filling in the details of holes that
I can’t accept empty
Please try and bear with me
And my feelings go often unread
But I won’t keep living with feelings unsaid
Please forgive me
But I just can’t forget we

I carry the weight of stories left untold
Filling in the details of holes that
I can’t accept empty
Please try and bear with me
Oo, and
My feelings go often unread
But I won’t keep living with feelings unsaid
Please forgive me
But I just can’t forget we

My feelings go often unread
But I won’t, I won’t keep living with feelings unsaid
Please, forgive me
But I just can’t forget we
