[ verse 1 ] I reached for the stars, but they turned to dust, All the dreams I had, they broke my trust. I built my hopes on promises that died, Now I’m standing here with nothing to hide. [ pre chorus ] I thought I had it all, but I was wrong, I held on tight, but now I’m gone. [ chorus ] Empty hands, nothing left to hold, Once I had a dream, now it’s turned to cold. I reached so high, but I fell so far, Now I’m lost without a guiding star. [ instrumental ] [ verse 2 ] I gave everything I had, but it slipped away, The dreams turned to ash, and hope couldn’t stay. I was blinded by the light I thought I’d find, Now I’m stuck in the darkness, trapped in my mind. [ pre chorus ] I thought I had it all, but I was wrong, I held on tight, but now I’m gone. [ instrumental] [ chorus ] Empty hands, nothing left to hold, Once I had a dream, now it’s turned to cold. I reached so high, but I fell so far, Now I’m lost without a guiding star. [ bridge ] If I could turn back, I’d let it all go, But now I’m empty, and it shows. The stars are distant, the road is dark, I’m left with nothing but a broken heart. [ outro ] Empty hands, fading away, Hope’s just a memory, lost yesterday. I’ll fade into nothing, it’s all that’s left, Empty hands and a heart bereft ( empty empty hands fa fading away, empty empty hands fa fading away, a a way).
