Empty Cups
You were looking away towards the trees There was a time you used to listen closer to me As close as the air is to the sea So close I could feel you breathe How we got here? I'd say quietly As quietly as those same trees grew to shade One day at a time and further away Further and further, further away Now my hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start thеre's gonna be a stop You're lеaving now through the hole of an argument I guess for a while you've been looking for the exit You slammed the door so hard I still hear it rattling spoons The sound of silence rings in every room The last talk left me a makeup rainbow of tears Turned everything blurry, I can't see a thing from here I tried so hard to make myself clear Life can't help but interfere You used to lean in like I was whispering Any excuse to get near again Letras de cancionesI still miss the way you lean in What happened between now and then Now my hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start there's gonna be a stop I was always a sucker for your wrist at my cheek There was a time when I was everything And I tried so hard to make myself clear Somehow life interfered Now my hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start there's gonna be a stop My hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start there's gonna be a stop From Letras Mania
