EMPTY EYES
By KARI CARLTON
I’m lying here in silence
My heart so full of pain
Miles of distance between us
My tears, they fall like rain
Sometimes things get rough
And the colors fade to black
My heart explodes inside
Watching you turn your back
CHORUS:
Every night I’d lay beside you
Singing our special song
I hold on to those memories
Because the good times, they are gone
I’m working so hard to know you
To get back what we had
Praying you will again want
Your mother and not just your dad
People try to comfort me
Saying it’s your age
That you’ll grow out of this
That it’s just a stage
I want to believe them
You’re growing with each new day
Your eyes are blank when you look at me
As you’re pushing me away
CHORUS:
Every night i laid beside you
Singing our special song
I hold on to those memories
Because the good times, they are gone
I’m working so hard to know you
To get back what we had
Praying you will want again Your mother and your dad
I’m living with a stranger
They say I’ll make it through
I just go through the motions
Because I don’t have you
CHORUS:
Every night I laid beside you
Singing our special song
I hold on dearly to those memories The good times, they are gone
I want to get to know you
And get back what we had
Praying you will want again
Your mother and your dad
