Empty

by Erick Neal   Sep 18, 2013


I'm not angry with anybody but myself.
Should have seen it coming, the calm before the storm.
Told myself and everybody that I was doing great.
Saying how nothing could get me down, that was a mistake.

Cause tonight it seems every song reminds me of how lonely I am.
And I can tell that I am bringing down all of my friends.
Thought my heart would be safe if I didn't believe.
But since I gave up on love, I just feel so empty.

I kept telling myself that everything happens for a reason.
Lately I just want to know what that reason is.
Cause I feel like I've wasted my life waiting.
Watching as everything passes me by.

Today I stand here realizing how lonely I've been.
As I kneel here praying to an old friend.
Thought my heart would be safe if I didn't believe.
But since I gave up on faith, I just feel so empty.

Sometimes I blame myself for the things out of my control.
It has left me broken, deep inside.
I tried living in the moment only to find
the moment I was living for wasn't mine.

Tonight I'm drunk enough to remember how lonely I am.
Saying things, pushing away all of my friends.
Thought my heart would be safe if I didn't believe.
But since I gave up on living, I just feel so empty.
