Empty Handed

What's this I'm holding on to?
Seems like nothing
Seems like nothing at all

This empty hope
Search for a way to cope

Leaves me empty-

You have to see, all this
Controversie and all these lies,
All the sorrow and all the pain

You'd see me,

Don't be scared,
Close your eyes and I'll be there,
Leave me alone,
But please don't leave,
Why can't you see?
Please don't open you eyes,
I'm afraid, but I'm not suprised,
I'm alone, but you're right here
Why can't I move?
Why can't I just stand still?
It's a scary place
Especially when you alone,
But I'll be here when no one's home
