Empty As I Am

It's not like I don't feel love

The taste of it's warmest touch

It's not like I lose sleep

It's like I don't sleep at all

It's not like I don't hurt like you

The closer I get, I lose

It's not like you don't know love

It's like you don't know the cost

How long til my heart breaks

So much that I can take

One more day, one more hour

Of waiting on something that might never happen

How long til my tears stop

How every salted drop

Bruises the skin, I'm stuck in betrayal

Empty as I am

It's not like I don't want to hold

Every part of you whole

It's not like I can't walk up to you

It's just that I wouldn't know what to do

The smell of you runs

Right through my veins

Thoughts of you linger

How I betray

My broken heart, my stubborn fist

How did our story

End up like this?

How long til my heart breaks

So much that I can take

One more day, one more hour

Of waiting on something, that might never happen

How long til my tears stop

How every salted drop

Bruises the skin, I'm stuck in betrayal

Empty as I am

I see you there

Just out of reach

Whisper your name

Cuz if I scream

I might wake up

You might just be

Only a dream

And if you don't love me

How long til my heart breaks

So much that I can take

One more day, one more hour

Of waiting on something that's not gonna happen

How long til my tears stop

How every salted drop

Bruises the skin, I'm stuck in betrayal

Empty as I am
