Empty
Unraveling Love's Illusion: Peyton Gilliland's 'Empty'
Lyrics
Young
Youthful
Dumb
Inexperienced
c Little too naive
A bit too innocent
When I met you
At the beginning of the relationship
Fell fast, you weren't there to catch me
Fell in love quickly, but the person didn't reciprocate
I guess I knew
Realized the lack of reciprocity
Deep in my heart you weren't the one
Inner feeling that the person wasn't the right one
But I tried so hard to make us become
Struggled to mold the relationship into what was desired
what I wanted it to be
Desired outcome for the relationship
But I couldn't make that dream come true
Failed to achieve the desired dream
I changed my hair, you just stayed you
Changed oneself, but the partner remained the same
and I wound up Empty
Feeling of emptiness in the relationship
Empty
-Empty
-Gave you all that I had
Gave everything in the relationship
and I cant take it back
Regret for not being able to undo the giving
cause I let you in
Allowed the person into one's life
and part of you stayed
A lasting impact or memory of the person remains
now I cant give it back
Unable to retrieve what was given
Deep in my heart you weren't the one
Recognition that the person wasn't the right one
But I tried so hard to make us become
Struggled to shape the relationship
what I wanted it to be
Desire for the relationship to be a certain way
But I couldn't make that dream come true
Failed to realize the dream
I changed my hair, you just stayed you
Changed oneself, while the partner remained unchanged
and I wound up Empty
Emotional emptiness persists
Empty
-Empty
-Sometimes it still hits me
Occasional emotional impact
Feeling kinda of heavy
Feeling burdened or weighed down
when I think of what I hoped we could be
Reflecting on unfulfilled hopes for the relationship
Deep in my heart you weren't the one
Acknowledgment that the person wasn't the right match
But I tried so hard to make us become
Strived intensely for the relationship
what I wanted it to be
Desired vision for the relationship
But I couldn't make that dream come true
Failed to realize the dream once again
I changed my hair, you just stayed you
Changed, but the partner remained unchanged
and I wound up Empty
Continued emotional emptiness
Empty
