Sweet Nothings

Your shadow tears my soul apart
Lays upon my heavy heart
Bittersweet nothings left to say
Are but careless words you whisper away
Will you leave me to my tragedies
As time lays me down to sleep?
I surrender myself completely
To this path that claims my destiny
If that's the way it has to be
Then so it shall and we will see
If fate turns the other cheek
Raw emotions left to speak

Leave your nothings in my ear
They are all I wish to hear
Let the sky embrace my soul
The world itself could swallow me whole
The heavens they won't weep for you
When nothings are all you say and do
Empty words you live upon
Yeah they won't keep you safe for long

Your sentiment's so very sweet
But I'll confess it's not too deep
In fact I think it's drowning me
Waiting for the world to see
The locked embrace you keep me in
Oh so sweetly suffocating
Saccharin sin
Left to begin
A new dawn will start to shine again
Upon me

Leave your nothings in my ear
They are all I wish to hear
Let the sky embrace my soul
The world itself could swallow me whole
The heavens they won't weep for you
When nothings are all you say and do
Empty words you live upon
Yeah they won't keep you safe for long

Your words mean only sweet nothings
You pin your hopes on everything
It all falls to your feet and you know
No matter where you choose to go
Destiny will have her way
No Nothings strong enough for you to say
Well Nothing lasts forever

Your vacancy's a thing I bare
Open up and still don't care
Let the sun smile down on you
When empty's all you have to do

Your sentiment's so very sweet
But I'll confess it's not too deep
In fact I think it's drowning me
Waiting for the world to see
The locked embrace you keep me in
Oh so sweetly suffocating
Saccharin sin
Left to begin
A new dawn will start to shine again
Upon me

Leave your nothings in my ear
They are all I wish to hear
Let the sky embrace my soul
The world itself could swallow me whole
The heavens they won't weep for you
When nothings are all you say and do
Empty words you live upon
Yeah they won't keep you safe for long
