Lyrics

There's nothing left inside me
Casual encounters leave me breathless thinking of her
Oh loving you was all I ever wanted
Holding you was all that I desired
I can't erase the dream, as I've been endlessly haunted
By all that I had once admired
Wedding's in the autumn
I thought I had a moment just to breath
But I cannot deny him
The smile on your face is cheek to cheek
And in your eyes, I see a lover who has finally found her peace
A picture so painful of joy without me
A love, once-requited, can no longer be
And I knew it was good, even in my devastation
Cause you're lovely complete and we always had an expiration
So, I'd let years pass us by, I was sure
Someday, someone new, I would find love once more
But even still I'm ailing
This love, it is impaling
Oh, I'm wilting in your absence
I can see that this is madness, I suppose
A picture so painful of joy without me
Our love, once-requited, can no longer be
I'm drifting away, and idle the efforts show
Your love was a lifeline, I can't seem to let it go
The further I find myself, the harder it is to hope
There's love forever after
And love that fades or shatters
Oh, I guess we had the latter
Now I'm emptier, I'm scattered, scattered
Into the breeze, I fear
I'll always be broken, this tear in my soul won't mend and
I'll never know love again
