Empty Shame Lyrics

I should have wept, you silently slept

You said you wouldn't mind if I cried

And so I sat at the foot of your bed

I said I had to leave, didn't I

Oftentimes it's how we'd say goodbye

Melodic lines I'd sing to you

But you must have heard they were for her

Well that's not true

Cause I'd give the world to be back in your arms

A shame that I can't give away the earth if I'm standing on it too

Never had I properly thought it through

I miss you

Oh, but for you I'd reach the moon

If it only meant that I could see your face

Oh, I'd look into your eyes, and suddenly I'd cave

Back to before when things never had to change

In empty shame, I bring along this page

Hand-written words to a song that rhymed with your name
