NOTHING IN THERE

You say you want to know me better
I say no you don’t
I tell you to find some other girl
You say no I won’t

Listen to me
I am despair
There’s nothing in there!

I feel like I have lived forever
When I’m looking back
I cannot afford to let you in
I gave all I had

You can try to force your way inside
But you will enter blind
Into a vacant, void of darkness
With nothing there to find

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Why don’t you tell me
How deeply do you want to see
My heart is an endless cavern
It echoes back what I don’t need
Chambers of laughter
That it once contained
Are hollows of heartache
Walls built out of pain
Listen to me
Avoid despair
There’s nothing in there!
~~*~~
Now you’re claiming that you understand
I say no you don’t
Say I’ll love you if I only try
I say no I won’t
Listen to me
I don’t care
There’s nothing in there!
~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
You tell me
 I am not alive
If I have no love inside
To wake up, and quit playing dead
~~*~~
I agree
That I have died
I’m just a body biding time
At least I have nothing to dread
There’s no despair
With nothing in there
~~*~~
~~~*Chorus*~~~
Why don’t you tell me
How deeply do you want to see
My heart is an endless cavern
It echoes back what I don’t need
Chambers of laughter
That it once contained
Are hollows of heartache
Walls built out of pain
Listen to me
Avoid despair
There’s nothing in there!
~~*~~
You just don’t care
When nothing’s in there
~~*~~
