I've Got Lyrics

My hands are empty

But my heart is not

It is heavy with the leaves

Dried out in the sun

You might be my star

The flesh and bone of my song

You might be the start

But you're still not mine

Illegible and unkind

Upside down and it takes too long

Severed from her tongue

Cast out into the burning sun

Wandering and aimless

Looking back at the things to come

I've got so much left to lose

And i can't lose it fast enough

I might forget my part

I might lose my faith

I might become what I wanted

And become what I hate

I might lose my star

The one that guided my way

I might lose my mind

But I still can't lose me

Illegible and unkind

Upside down and it takes too long

Severed from her tongue

Cast out into the burning sun

Wandering and aimless

Looking back at the things to come

I've got so much left to lose

And I can't lose it fast enough

I survived me
