Empty Circle Lyrics

I was a table

But now I'm a rug

It's raining outside

Your shoes are covered in mud

I was a Christmas tree

But now it's past Christmas Day

I got tossed out

With the crumpled gift wrap you throw away

It was fun while it lasted

Now I'm left here feeling slanted

Walking in footsteps

Don't seem to be mine

A snowy path of prints

Through a forest of pine

Off in the distance

There's a vanity light

It shines through the window

Of my home at night

Wearing the same clothes I wore yesterday

Chill of snow numbs my pain

As a crooked line

Becomes an empty circle

I was opine

But now I'm nonverbal

I am a footnote

To your storied life

I'm all alone

You're someone else's wife

A tiny table

Place setting for one

The holiday supper

Has already begun

As a child lost in the woods at night

Searching for a pathway towards the light

As this crooked line

Became an empty circle

I was opine

But now I'm nonverbal
