Empty

(Album: Joy In The Morning - 2022)

Have you ever noticed that gold
Sparkles in the light but it's cold
In your hands?
Have you ever filled your cup
Thinking it would feel like enough
But it don't last?

When you don't even know what you're reaching for
It's the absence that tells you there's something more

You could have it all
You can have the whole world at your feet
Every little thing you think you need
And still feel empty
You could have it all
You could have the best this life can bring
Living everybody else's dream
And still feel empty

When everything you thought was a win
Is turning out to be paper thin
It tears you apart, oh
A shadow that you thought was the light
Won't keep away the monsters at night
That haunt your heart, oh

When you don't even know what you're hoping for, oh
It's the missing that tells you there's something more

Oh, you could have it all
You can have the whole world at your feet
Every little thing you think you need
And still feel empty
You can have it all
You can have the best this life can bring
Living everybody else's dream
And still feel empty

Oh-oh-oh, oh
Empty
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Woah

When you don't even know what you're living for
It's the questions that tell you there's something more
Oh, yes there is

You could have it all
You can have the whole world at your feet
Every little thing you think you need
And still feel empty
You can have it all
You can have the best this life can bring
Living everybody else's dream
And still feel empty

Could you feel it?
Empty
Empty
