Empty

(Soft piano, gentle strings)

Fading echoes fill my heart,

Every tear, a silent part.

I gave my dreams, I gave my all,

In every rise, in every fall.

Built a world with love so pure,

But now I stand, unsure.

I wore your smiles like my own skin,

But lately, where have you been?

I’m longing for a sign at dusk,

To feel your love, to feel your trust.

Show me that you care tonight,

In the quiet when we fight.

All the love I gave away,

Now I need it back, I pray.

Hold me close, don’t let me go,

Let your hearts start to show.

Days are long when hope feels thin,

I gave so much. Is that a sin?

Holding on to memories past,

But won't you help this love to last?

I held your dreams, your laughter's song,

It’s been so hard, I feel so wrong.

In this house, I feel so small,

Come back to me, we've got it all.

Show me that you care tonight,

In the quiet when we fight.

All the love I gave away,

Now I need it back, I pray.

Hold me close, don’t let me go,

Let your hearts start to show.

I’m tired of feeling empty spaces,

Worn-out faces in mirror traces.

I need a moment, a spark of grace,

To remember our own place.

So sing to me in the silent night,

Wrap me in your warmth. Hold me tight.

For in this life, I gave my part,

Now I need you to fill my heart.
