Empty Handed

If this is what I look like alone
I'll rear back my fist and break the glass
as I crumble away just like a stone
nothing in my life will ever last

Inside my own mind I wonder why
I wonder why this happened to me
maybe it's because I didn't try
or maybe it's because I'm naive

 
While some things are lost and never meant to find
I try to pick up the pieces to my life
because I just want to do the best I can
I want to put something in these empty hands
(Chorus)

 
So this is what it feels like to die
to have nothing left and breathe alone
I'm used to it now and I'll be fine
and I'll see what it's like tomorrow

I cant seem to live with myself now
as I stare back at my reflection
constantly lied to without a doubt
I'm lost in a world of deception

 
-Chorus-

 
Why must I be so empty handed?
I just want to have something more than
what I'm holding in my hands
I'm tired of being empty handed
I just want to hold you in my hands
I just want to hold you in my hands

 
-Chorus-(2x)
