shadows

there's a bucket with my teardrop swimming inside
it contains all the feelings i've chosen to hide -
anger, hurt, disappointment, fear,
impatience and longing to have you near

there's a song playing over and over in my mind
bringing back mem'ries i've tried to leave behind
i don't want to remember, i don't want to recall
i don't want to have to think of you at all

there's nothing but shadows where you used to be
loneliness and sorrow are what's left with me
my hands lay before me... the ones you used to hold
there's nothing there now
all is empty
and cold
