Holding Nothing

Do I sell my soul to hold you close
What cost is too much to regret
Do I hold my heart above all others
Who understands why I need to be alone

I've left it all behind to move forward
Cut the ropes and removed the chains
Smiled and sang and held nothing
I had nothing to feel everything

There's so much to hold to when I'm alone
How do I escape from the prison I hold the key to
I gave my life for this, where do I buy one now
I've wanted a life so empty, my arms are heavy from holding to nothing

Who do I turn to when I've cut all ties
Who do I rescue when I'm drowning
Who do I feel when I'm so numb
Who cares when I'm so heartless
