• Empty Shell



    The Christmas lights shine upon the towns tonight

    Snow falls under the sky making the ground white

    Loved ones reunite together on this day

    But I'm the only one in this empty house today

    I wonder why I'm feeling so lonely,

    Why I'm not here with my one and only

    I loved them with all of my heart

    But sadly some things tore us apart

    How I use to love this special holiday.

    Slowly riding on the one horse sleigh

    The wind against my face made me feel free

    Feeling the flowing warmth of the ones next to me

    But instead of those arms that took me in its hold

    This holiday left me out in the cold

    Leaving me in a sad empty shell

    I see the people I love say 'farewell'

    All I could do was beg for them to stay

    But one by one they all go away

    Will this empty feeling ever leave?

    Or is there someone out there to help me believe?

    That can stay with me till I die

    Or is it my hopes are going too high?

    For this empty shell will forever be cold and empty will always stay

    And make my days lonely and grey.
