Empty All Along

 

 

Time is standing still for me
But my soul has grown too old
And all my pretty dreams have failed me
Now there’s only tender memories to fill me
And I can’t escape my past
These feeling of fulfillment 
They never last
And when they leave me lonely
I realize
I was always terribly empty inside
Where will I go when the times comes
To move on
To grow up
Who will I become in the end?
People they say 
She’s a loving child
And she has such a pretty smile
But she will never make it on her own
There’s a burden and a truth to that
And I see
My words are empty as me.
