Empty-handed Lyrics - Singles - Evangeline

You took everything and turned it on its side 

until I'm blinded by kaleidoscope lies; illusions of grandeur. 

Flip a coin. Decide what you will say to me next; just enough to rip my heart from my chest - so you'll know I'm sorry. 

Chorus: 

Did you know that this was how it all would end? 

Because I swear that you've had every exit planned. 

So just go - 

I should've known by now you'd leave me empty-handed. 

So I scream, I yell - just to be heard. 

Yeah, I kick, I cry - just 'cuz I hurt. 

And you know, it's what you wanted all along. 

It doesn't hurt me anymore, no - I don't even blink. 

The only thing that bothers me, that makes my stomach sink, is when you try. 

Yeah, it makes me sick. 

Chorus: 

Did you know that this was how it all would end? 

Because I swear that you've had every exit planned. 

So just go - 

I should've known by now you'd leave me empty-handed. 

You just leave me - 

It's so easy just to walk out without even trying. 

And you'll try to make it up, eventually, but I'm not bought anymore, trust me. 

It's too late now for the next time you come around. 

Chorus: 

Did you know that this was how it all would end? 

Because I swear that you've had every exit planned. 

So just go - 

truth is, I'd rather have you leave me empty-handed.
