Come Up Empty

V6

coming in closer  and i don’t remember  what the world looked like  when i backed up to see  if you heard me  when i said what  i liked  a voice keeps reaching  my ears are listening  and i can’t remember what it felt like when i told you stories  you used to remind me of later in the  interim  (chorus) and the moments i look back  for someone who used to laugh and knew what they had  when they had all of me  i come up empty  i come up  empty  i think i might be seen, all the joys and laughter  and tears and pain and they swear they are gonna  stay the same and i’m different somehow someway  but behind them is a trail of uneasiness   and behind me are hopes  i never knew could be crushed  to pieces so very small that they’d  take my self-esteem crumbling along with them  (chorus) and the moments i look back  for someone who used to laugh and knew what they had  when they had all of me  i come up empty  i come up  empty  what i have to offer  looks like pittance  and what is left of me  is unrecognizable  that i wonder if scattered winds  have blown away  all my reality  entirely  (chorus) and the moments i look back  for someone who used to laugh and knew what they had  when they had all of me  i come up empty  i come up  empty
