Empty Shell

Tonight the air feels so cold again
The rain keeps pounding down hard

It hurts but
I start to run
I want to stop this heartbeat
That echoes just for you

I want to open my eyes and show you
The me that’s lost without you
A heart that’s turned to stone

If everything were simple
Your words wouldn’t hurt
They shouldn’t cause me pain

That day I had
A shattered heart
Searching for you
As the days dragged on

But you, still
Couldn’t hear me
Drowned in the rain
By the time I realized it, it was too late

I want to open my eyes and show you
The me that’s lost without you
A heart that’s turned to stone

If everything were simple
Your words wouldn’t hurt
They shouldn’t cause me pain

These feelings won’t reach you
They’re melting away in the rain

I want to open my eyes and show you
The me that’s lost without you
A heart that’s turned to stone

If everything were simple
Your words wouldn’t hurt
They shouldn’t cause me pain

If I could only make you see now
I’d make you see what I’ve become
An empty shell that waits for you

If it would only be so simple
The words you speak would never hurt
And I would fall asleep tonight
