Empty

I know you're searching for something
I know what you're looking for
I know that you're hurting inside
I've been there before

It feels like the world is falling apart
Feels like the crowd is thinning in your corner
You can't keep the pace of your beating heart
You're running out of road, but you aren't any closer
To an answer, to why, oh why, you feel so empty

I know you're trying to hide it
I know you're trying to save face
But if you could only see through
through the eyes of grace
You'd see that you're more than the sum of your parts
You're not defined by the baggage on your shoulders

There's more to love than a broken heart
And the struggle to put the pieces back together
When it broke you, when it hurt you
And left you feeling empty

How long will you keep running
Trying to make it on your own
Desperate to fight the feeling
That you'll always be alone
You don't have to live in a masquerade
You don't have to hide your hurting in the darkness

True love endures when the feelings fade
It brings hope to life, and beauty to our ashes
It won't use you, or forsake you
It won't leave you empty
