I Am

So here I stand, an empty man The one who never found his soul Thus here I know, and here I die The life that never knew its sigh Was lost in something more than this Was begging but to find release To wash away the crimson tears Within your eyes, without your fears I find the wilted rose can't last It fades, it withers still too fast But I can't bring myself to leave All of these empty memories And I've known the sunrise To bring tears to my eyes And I've seen the sunset Wash away my regret And I've felt all these tears Wash away what were years I have felt, in that night, That true love was true sight So here I kneel, an empty man Who's drowned his soul within the rain So here I die, so here I've lived My heart was all that I could give I've plunged my life into my pain My heart could never feel the same My soul is broken once again As I drown in these tears of rain
