Empty Handed

Album: Louder (2014)

  • 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
    And 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 bring the ocean to bring you home
    And if you came to me empty hearted
    I'd find the pieces to make you own

    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 congress, I will only let you ban
    All I've ever known is how to hide a secret
    But I'm tired of going on without believing
    And 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 Writer/s: Christina Judith Perri, David Hall Hodges, John Shanks
