Empty Hands
pr0files Lyrics

Well I've been working hard
Despite putting in a lot of effort through working long hours, I'm not able to effectively distract myself from my problems.

But 80 hours a week ain't enough to turn it off
Even though I work 80 hours a week, it's not enough to let go of my problems completely.

Cause I still can't hide
Despite my efforts, I'm still unable to escape from my issues.

From all these fucking dreams that make you come alive
The dreams that keep me going are also the source of my pain as they remind me of you.

Now that hurt so bad
The pain I feel is unbearable and affects me deeply.

I laid it on the line
I gave everything I had and was open and honest about my feelings.

Came back with empty hands
Despite my honesty, I received nothing in return - my feelings weren't reciprocated.

I never thought that
It was unexpected and came as a surprise to me.

You would be the one who wouldn't understand
You are the only one who doesn't seem to understand the depth of my feelings.

I found my heart, I gave it to you
I opened up my heart and showed my vulnerability to you by expressing my feelings.

And that was the first time I knew
It was the first time I truly understood the depth of my own feelings.

Oh, I'm gonna lose
I know that the outcome of this situation is not going to be in my favor.

Thought that we would last forever
I believed that our relationship would be a lasting one.

But I was shooting blanks straight into never
My hope for the future was misguided and would never come to fruition.

Oh, so I just move on
I need to accept reality and move on.

Pick up all the pieces
I need to gather myself and put myself back together.

Write another song
I will channel my pain and sorrow into my music.

Cause I can't pretend
I can't deny my feelings or pretend that everything is okay when it's not.

That everything's okay and that I'm back again
I can't go back to the way things were or pretend that nothing has changed.

Cause you were my life
My relationship with you was the center of my world.

You were my friend
Our relationship was built on a foundation of friendship.

But you told me that one day it would end
You were honest about the fact that our relationship would come to an end someday.

And what's the point of hanging around
There is no reason for me to continue to linger in this situation.

Being the last one standing
Staying around after the end of a relationship is pointless and only causes further pain.

In a ghost town
Staying behind where the relationship once was only leads to a hollow, empty feeling.

Oh, April, June (still high), December
No matter the time of year or my mood, my pain remains ever-present.

If I could only make myself feel better
If only I could find a way to ease my pain and feel better about the situation.
