M.P. Shaudd Poet Lyric

Empty Glass

Empty glass you remind me of my life
As we both sit empty inside
Lifeless and solemn, from top to the bottom
Is that sweat or a tear that you cry

Here we are just a shell of what we once were
We both have a need, an undying thirst
I can clearly see through you, like most can me
Empty glass like a mirror of my destiny

You poured out what you could like I did
And now we’re both void of a heart
You’re cold as a women, when you touch my hand
But unlike her it’s the end where with you it’s a start

You leave a ring to remind me of what’s gone
And we both can be broken at times
We’ve passed through the hands of both love and hate
Empty glass are we resigned to accept this as fate

You poured out what you could like I did
And like you I’m void of a heart
You’re cold as a women, when you touch my hand
But unlike her it’s the end where with you it’s a start

Half empty or half full is how you see it
It depends, just which one you choose
The rocks on the inside, remind me of my life
Empty glass did we win or lose

Empty glass I’ll be back tomorrow
Chances are you’ll be in another’s warm hands
But at least for tonight I’ll hold you
And we can talk till last call my friend

Empty glass, until we do this again
