Empty Heartstrings

I left the porch light burning for you late (so late)

But you were always checking on your phone

I should have seen the way you hesitate How can I feel

so lonely when you're home?

I built a fortress out of all your promises

But they were made of sand

(made

of sand) And now the water is rising fast

I gave you everything and you were never there

Left me holding onto nothing but the air

(nothing at all) How could you stay so cold when I was

burning bright?

Betrayal in the quiet of the night

I keep rewinding every word you said

Trying to find the moment that we died

Never fully there...

(hmmmm) Just a ghost in the hallway
