[Verse 1]
Gave my last dime to a stranger’s plea,
Empty pockets, but the soul ain’t free.
Hands out, they took, didn’t look back,
Now I’m stuck in a storm with a heart attack.
Mirror cracked, shows a face too kind,
Loaned out love, but the bank declined.
Echoes in the room, nobody calls,
Built them up, now I’m watching me fall.
[Prechorus]
Am I too soft? Too blind to see?
Why’s the world take, but never for me?
[Chorus]
Help me, help me, I’m shouting to the skies,
Empty hands, heavy heart, no replies.
Why’s the world spin for the selfish crowd?
I gave my all, now I’m screaming out loud.
[Verse 2]
Some folks wear masks, smiles all pretend,
Take what they need, then they let it end.
Their hearts like vaults, locked up tight,
I’m the open door, but it don’t feel right.
Karma on a smoke break, where’s my turn?
Candle burned out, but I still yearn.
Tides roll back, waves pull away,
Left in the sand where the footprints stay.
