Empty Handed
LEA MICHELE · Louder 2014 · Track 10 of 15
Written by Christina Perri, David Hodges, John Shanks
If I came to you empty handed A barren ocean with nothing at all And if I came to you empty hearted Searching for pieces after the fall
All I've ever known is how to hide a secret But I'm tired of going on without believing That love is not illusion, love illuminates the blind
If I fell into you, would it be close enough? If I finally let you in, would you show me what love is? If I had nothing to give
If you came to me empty handed I'd brave your ocean to bring you home And if you came to me empty hearted I'd find the pieces to make you whole
If I fell into you, would it be close enough? If I finally let you in, would you show me what love is? If I had nothing to give
If I am a promise, will you let me break again? I will be your compass, I will only let you bend
All I've ever known is how to hide a secret But I'm tired of going on without believing That love is not illusion, love illuminates the blind
If I fell into you, would it be close enough? If I finally let you in, would you show me what love is? If I had nothing to give
If I had nothing to give
