Empty Space

Happy was what I did
Pain was all I used to feel
But now I'm stuck between
Mind and Matter
And I made this
A picture black and white
Of you holding my hand
Without a fight

I found myself down on my knees
And I cried Lord help me please
To be the one that he needs
I tried to make you love me
But you don't and that's okay
I tried to be the one
That you come to
Like you should do
But I guess I'm only in the way
It's alright to feel this way
I want you to be happy
And no matter how hard I try
All I can do is live a lie

I see you with somebody else
I want you with me and no one else
And I tried to make you happy
I tried to understand
But all I could do was cry
When she reached to hold your hand

I stayed silent last night as she mention your name
Saying horrible things that I would never say
I watched you fall apart as she broke your heart
And I said I would never treat you that way
I would always brighten your day
I would try to find a tomorrow
To ease your yesterday

We were just friends
That's all we were
All my dreams that I had
They were yours
And I told you
I'm right in front of your face
You told me
That I wasn't the one
In any case

As I sat holed up in my room
I cried your tears
I tried to find your place
I searched my heart
And found an empty space
