Outspoken

There's an emptiness within me, 
a loneliness I can't appease,
the days grow longer as I long for you

I know it's out there somewhere,
a love that can't wait to be shared, 
another heart that beats in the same tune

and though my voice my be broken, 
my heart remains outspoken, 
you can't hear me but I'm calling out for you

and when in my mind it may seem hopeless,
my heart remains devoted, 
you can't hear me but I'm calling out for you

Confusing is the irony of sorrow,
that a heart so full of love could still feel hollow,
and the echoing is a deafening sound

still I know it's out there somewhere, 
a love that can't wait to be shared, 
but I know I'll be lost until you're found

and though my voice may be broken, 
my heart remains outspoken, 
you can't hear me but I'm calling out for you

and when in my mind it may seem hopeless, 
my heart remains devoted, 
you can't hear me but I'm calling out for you
