Empty Hands

Woah

Woah

Woah

She gives her heart, her soul, her time

But people leave, like the changing tide

They take her warmth and leave her cold

She's been a story that's too often told

How can they not see the light she brings?

How can they not hear when her heart sings?

And I just don't understand

Why she's left with empty hands

She's always there when others call

But no one's there to catch her fall

And I just don't understand

Why they slip right through her hands

She's built her walls, they're standing tall

Afraid to trust, used to fall

So many smiles that were just a lie

Now she's too tired, too hurt to try

How can they not see the love she shows?

How can they not care when her heart's exposed?

And I just don't understand

Why she's left with empty hands

She's always there when others call

But no one's there to catch her fall

And I just don't understand

Why they slip right through her hands

I wish that she could see the worth inside

I'd chase away the pain she tries to hide

But every tear she's cried, every goodbye

Has built a wall so high

And I just don't understand

Why she's left with empty hands

She's always there when others call

But no one's there to catch her fall

And I just don't understand

Why they slip right through her hands

No, I just can't understand

Why they slip right through her hands
