Empty Hands

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
 And 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
 And so 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 hear you call out for 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
 And 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
 Everyday I asked for this to change
 There was a fear, inside of me
 A fear that made me question who I am
 And why I'm so 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, they mean 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
 You won't sing me to sleep
 You won't sing me to sleep
