Empty
Darkness seeps in, as the light fades away
Forcing myself to face another day
Faking a smile, to replace the tears
I scream out for you, but no one hears
A stranger in the mirror, stares back at me
I wish things were like, they used to be
Pretending used to be, a childish game
How I wish, life was still the same
Erasing the memories, forgetting the pain
Trying just to keep, my lonely heart sane
The dreams of forever, where washed away
How I wish, I could go back to yesterday
But time still ticks, marching on
As I replay all of the things, that went so wrong
I've nothing left to give, I'm empty inside
The promises you made, were all just lies
