This is a song that I began writing with no real inspiration, but then it connected with my life and I continued it with a personal experience in real life.  This song explains how I feel about a few of my friends. Sometimes I feel like we aren't really close anymore and I'm just not sure what to do about it.  It occasionally feels like everything between us is just

Empty.

Verse:
If I were leaving today
What would you say?
Would you ask me to stay one more time?

Or would you walk out that door?
Say "there's nothing anymore"
Would you tell me this time "it's goodbye?"

Prechorus:
Because when we're together, we're still miles apart
We used to shine together, now we're fading stars
It was a winning battle, now we're losing the war
And maybe it's time to end this fight 'cause

Chorus:
What we got is empty to me
It's like make believe
I try and I try to see things differently, but

What we got is empty to me
You're not what I need
I gotta move on, oh

Verse:
If time can heal every wound
Why am I still burnt?
Tell me why does it still hurt to be around you?

Everything I sacrificed
To keep you by my side
I don't think you really care like you used to

Prechorus:
Because when we're together, we're still miles apart
We used to shine together, now we're fading stars
It was a winning battle, now we're losing the war
And maybe it's time to end this fight 'cause

Chorus:
What we got is empty to me
It's like make believe
I try and I try to see things differently, but

What we got is empty to me
You're not what I need
I gotta move on, oh

Bridge:
This must be what the end feels like
'Cause I can't stay here anymore, no
This must be how heart break feels
'Cause I can't do this anymore

No, oh (ad lib)

Chorus:
What we got is empty to me
It's like make believe
I try and I try to see things differently

It's empty to me
You're not what I need
I gotta move on, oh

(Chorus repeats. Vocal ad lib as song slowly fades out.)
