Live empty

Verse 1 boy singing

I’m tracing stars on the ceiling tonight

Trying to name every fear in my mind

Your shadow dances in street-light gold

Every memory’s warm but it’s still so cold

Pre-Chorus

I keep my heart in a pocket of hope

Stitched together but barely sewn

Every step feels like falling through air

But I’d rather fall than pretend I don’t care

Chorus

So play it loud, let the silence break

I’ve been holding my breath for heaven’s sake

If love’s a fire, let it burn through me

I’d rather feel pain than feel nothing, honestly

Verse 2

Your laugh echoes off empty walls

Like a song I forgot but still recall

We’re spinning dreams on a broken clock

Waiting for time to finally stop

Pre-Chorus

I read your name in the passing cars

In midnight songs and fading stars

If this is love, it’s a beautiful mess

But I’m all in, no second guess

Chorus

So play it loud, let the silence break

I’ve been holding my breath for heaven’s sake

If love’s a fire, let it burn through me

I’d rather feel pain than feel nothing, honestly

Bridge

If tomorrow leaves me in the dark

I’ll still follow the beat of your heart

Even shattered, I’ll sing it true

Every song I am leads back to you

Final Chorus

Turn it up, let the world hear

Every hope, every doubt, every tear

If this is love, then set me free

I’d rather feel everything than live empty

Outro

Yeah, I’d rather feel everything…

Than live empty.
