[Verse]
Your shadow dances while I stay still
I reach for warmth but feel the chill
Your love’s a whisper I can’t quite hear
[Prechorus]
I give and I give till I’m paper thin
You smile but you never let me in
[Chorus]
Why do I love what won’t love me back
A heart that’s empty a thread gone slack
I pour my soul into your hands
But you let it slip like grains of sand
[Verse 2]
You laugh like rain but it never falls
I’m a room with echoes and hollow walls
Your touch is there but it doesn’t stay
[Prechorus]
I wait and I wait till the stars grow dim
But your light’s a fire that won’t begin
[Chorus]
Why do I love what won’t love me back
A heart that’s empty a thread gone slack
I pour my soul into your hands
But you let it slip like grains of sand
