the empty room Lyrics

Open up your eyes

You've grown too old to keep burying the phantoms you're carrying

Around

It's like a current that's pulling

You under the surface

So what will it take to survive?

Keep running away from the lies

Ain't nothing hiding the red in your eyes

I wish

I could go back

To the empty room

Where love

Was intact

Free from all the wounds

Lost sight

Of the lantern that's brightening the lines on the pattern

At night

It's like I weave through a blanket the worries kept frozen in time

My body's moving yet I'm paralyzed

No longer waiting for my fucking mind

'Cause I wish

I could go back

To the empty room

Where love

Was intact

Free from all the wounds

Now I'm left in the cold

With my hands all

Covered in blood

And all because I

Could not go back

To the empty room

The glass you shattered on the pavement

Of my bedroom floor

Brought the tears out till the light of day was shining on the door

'Cause I was waiting for your hand to wrap around my neck

My legs were trembling every time and I was scared to death

I thought I wasn't good enough and I still hold my breath

For every single time you showed up thinking all is well

I've had a cloud inside my mind since the day I was six

I keep the letters I can't read you hoping I'll be fixed

You were so angry lost and broken and I was just a kid

I can't look back behind my back cause now it's sink or swim

'Cause I wish

I could go back

To the empty room

Where love

Was intact

Free from all the wounds

Now I'm left in the cold

With my hands all

Covered in blood

And all because I

Could not go back

To the empty room
