Empty Inside

You fill me with passion flames burning high
but my heart is in ashes I'm empty inside
Desiring you is a need I cannot control
wanting your love I sell my soul

You coax me and hold me pretending it's joy
but I know of the others with my heart you toy
I confess you are my obsession for you I plea
but you laugh using me as a possession to tease

All that I am everything I have
I give all to you yet you treat me more bad
Your always on my mind with you so little time
you tell me you love me but can never be mine

What I want is never what I need
shattered my heart from you I leave
You call me with promises I know are lies
for your sweet words only leave me empty inside.
