Empty Handed
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I came to you empty handed
A barren ocean
With nothing at all
And if I came to you empty hearted
Searching for pieces
After the fall
All I've ever known is how to hide a secret
But I'm tired of going on without believing
That love is not illusion, love illuminates the blind
If I fell into you, would it be close enough?
If I finally let you in, would you show me what love is?
If I had nothing to give
If you came to me empty handed
I'd brave your ocean to bring you home
And if you came to me empty hearted
I'll find the pieces to make you whole
If I fell into you, would it be close enough?
If I finally let you in, would you show me where love is?
If I had nothing to give
If I am a promise
Will you let me break again
I will be your compass, I will only let you bend
All I've ever known is how to hide a secret
But I'm tired of going on without believing
That love is not illusion, love illuminates the blind
If I fell into you, would it be close enough?
If I finally let you in, would you show me what love is?
If I had nothing to give
If I had nothing to give
