Empty Cup

Lyrics

Verse 1
You said you’re fine
With a shaking hand
Half a pill
And a paper band

Room too small
For all that pain
You keep your smile
Like a shelter in rain

Pre-Chorus
I see the weight
In your eyes
I hear it calling
Every night

You don’t have to
Say the truth
I can still
Stay close to you

Chorus
Hold on, hold on
Don’t go under
Hold on, hold on
Let me come closer
Empty cup
Heavy heart
Stay right here
Through the dark
Hold on, hold on
Don’t go under

Verse 2
Ash in the sink
Shoes by the door
Promised yourself
You’d be clean by four

But the phone keeps buzzing
Like a buzzing wound
And the mirror keeps
Spitting back at you

Pre-Chorus
I know that pull
I know that name
The thing that smiles
And steals your name

If you can’t run
Then take my hand
We can outlast
This hour of sand

Chorus
Hold on, hold on
Don’t go under
Hold on, hold on
Let me come closer
Empty cup
Heavy heart
Stay right here
Through the dark
Hold on, hold on
Don’t go under

Bridge
One more breath
One more night
Let the storm pass
Let it bite

If you fall
I won’t let go
We can climb
Slow and slow

Final Chorus
Hold on, hold on
Don’t go under
Hold on, hold on
Let me come closer
Empty cup
Heavy heart
Stay right here
Through the dark
Hold on, hold on
Don’t go under
