Empty Handed

My heart is an empty vessel
Drifting out to sea
I try my best to be what you want me to be

You can try and help me
You could drown me gently
You could tell me all of the things that I want you to say

I hear running water
Hear you knocking on the door
I spent an hour or more
Just lying on the bathroom floor

You can try and help me
You could drown me gently
You could tell me all of the things that I want you to say

And you
You could walk away
Empty handed
You
You could walk away
Empty handed

The wave that came has broken
And the void has swallowed me
A door before stands ajar
I thought I'd run but I'm not free

You can try and help me
You could drown me gently
You could tell me all of the things that I want you to say

And you
You could walk away
Empty handed
You
You could walk away
Empty handed

And you
You could walk away
Empty handed
You
You could walk away
Empty handed

And you
You could walk away
Empty handed
You
You could walk away
Empty handed
You could walk away
Empty handed
