Empty Cup
Your love is a road
That has no end
Time after time
It takes me back again
To a lonely place
I struggle to understand
How you kept my heart
But let go of my hand
Is there more waiting
Please hear me calling
Will you be there to catch me
Or let me go on falling
If I hit the ground
All the dreams will shatter
Who will help pick up the pieces
Or will my pieces even matter
I lived my life for you
I gave you all my heart
Instead of holding it gently
You carelessly ripped it apart
All I wanted was your time
Just to know I was enough
But instead I'm devastated to find
I am left with life's empty cup
I only wished to be the one,
The one you truly wanted
By your unrequited love
I will now always be haunted
That has no end
Time after time
It takes me back again
To a lonely place
I struggle to understand
How you kept my heart
But let go of my hand
Is there more waiting
Please hear me calling
Will you be there to catch me
Or let me go on falling
If I hit the ground
All the dreams will shatter
Who will help pick up the pieces
Or will my pieces even matter
I lived my life for you
I gave you all my heart
Instead of holding it gently
You carelessly ripped it apart
All I wanted was your time
Just to know I was enough
But instead I'm devastated to find
I am left with life's empty cup
I only wished to be the one,
The one you truly wanted
By your unrequited love
I will now always be haunted
