Empty Shell

Empty Shell

I know I gave you your freedom,
But I still feel tied
You said you'd never hurt me,
But you know you lied
You said we weren't right,
You insisted we were wrong
Why didn't you realize sooner,
Before you lead me on?

CHORUS:
Why did you leave me with nothing
But remains of my empty shell?
I hung onto you as tight as I could
Now I'm burning in my personal hell

I gave you me and all of my life
You chewed it up and spat it out
You'd alleviate my suffering and strife
Then you filled me with pain and doubt
I thought you were everything I needed
I thought you thought the same of me
Then I slowly became your option
When you were my priority

CHORUS

My shell is empty and shattered
On my beach of broken hopes
My emotions have been splattered
On your crusade of broken jokes
Things will never be the same
I can't be swallowed by my past
My heart will always remain
I received what I never asked

Why was I left with nothing
But remains of my empty shell?
I hung onto you as tight as I could
Now I'm burning in my personal hell

CHORUS
