Empty Feelings

How sad that he's forgotten
All the lessons love has taught him

The money never mattered
Her poor heart is torn and shattered

It's amazing just to listen
To his lacking self rendition 

I guess when all is said and done
Empty feelings are all he's won....

No matter how old some get, they just don't get what matters most. Their loss.

I must agree with the other commenter in that the last line is great!
