Empty Hands 가사

I am all alone; your words have never brought me peace They rain down upon my head and destroy everything With weary eyes I stare at the sea In the distance I hear you call out for me I am so tired of running away Only to come back right where I had buried this with my hands Still you tell me that I can be trusted with a burden that I never wanted No matter how I try to push you away I still hear you call out to me I'm not the better man I'm called to be Why can't I escape? You pull me under the waves. I'm the one who made this sea It's taken everything from me Still you try to sing me to sleep. But I buried this with my hands. No matter what I try I keep coming back. I'm not the better man I'm called to be Why can't I escape? You pull me under the waves. I'm the one who made this sea It's taken everything from me Still you try to sing me to sleep. There were days that I asked for this to change, but there was a fear inside of me A fear that made me question who I am and why I'm capable of such horrible things And every single promise that you whispered in my ear, That fear just kept growing until it consumed me. But I let that fear go, and I can see who you are. Your words gave me nothing I've been running away for too long; I'm not running anymore I will stand my ground and scream out loud My heart won't be yours. So I buried this with my hands. And no matter what you try I won't be coming back. I'm not the better man, I'm not the better man. I'm not the better man I'm called to be Why can't I escape? You pull me under the waves. I'm the one who made this sea It's taken everything from me And no matter what you try you won't sing me to sleep.
