Empty from the Start

Stars falling from the sky,

buildings burning all night,

tall rivers running wild,

stretching out for miles and miles.

I think I heard a good man say,

"God is love and love has made us."

But have you seen the news today?

I have and I think God has gone away,

if he was ever there anyway.

Cause anyone who tells you they were born good is lying,

we're just born, and we are dying.

And I know it's been said,

"but mothers be good to your daughters and when they're older, sons, be good to your fathers."

Cause this is all we have, this is all we are:

blood and bones, no holy ghost,

empty from the start.

There's nothing you can do, honey.

There's nothing you can do that would save me.

There's nothing you can do, honey.

There's nothing you can do, but lately,

I dont mind, cause I've been finding the only thing worth loving more than me is loving you.

You get stuck staring at the past,

you get stuck looking at the future through a looking glass.

Time is gone when time was slow.

This time is all you have and now it's gone but now you know.

And I hope you see the picture of me in your pocket when I'm gone away,

and I will do the same for you.

To truly love someone is the closest I have come to truth.

Cause this is all we have, this is all we are:

blood and bones, no holy ghost,

empty from the start.

There's nothing you can do, honey.

There's nothing you can do that would save me.

There's nothing you can do, honey.

There's nothing you can do, but lately,

I dont mind, cause I've been finding the only thing worth loving more than me is loving you.
