lyrics

I stand alone among the ruins
Of all your tricks and my delusions
Talking to myself, reflecting on the hearts that
We lost and the lives we tore apart

Dancing in the flames,
Singing with the pain
Letting go
Can the Empty take the place of you?

Setting fire to the heart you stole from me
Had it all and lost it all we couldn't see
Your hollow lies my broken mind and now I'm free
I'll live with the Empty after you
I'll live with the Empty after you
I'll live with the Empty after you

There's some strange comfort feeling trapped
Until you finally learn to snap and
Let the Empty in and feel it take control
Well I found new comfort in that hole

Dancing in the flames
Singing with the pain
Letting go
Can the Empty take the place of you?

Setting fire to the heart you stole from me
Had it all and lost it all we couldn't see
Your hollow lies my broken mind and now I'm free
I'll live with the Empty after you
I'll live with the Empty after you
I'll live with the Empty after you

Baby I'm done with giving chase,
Losing grace,
Trying to keep a brave face
I'm still learning,
How to survive in this place

So I'm setting fire to the heart you stole from me
Cause living with the Empty, I'm safe.

Dancing in the flames
Singing with the pain
Letting go
Can the Empty take the place of you?

Setting fire to the heart you stole from me
Had it all and lost it all we couldn't see
Your hollow lies my broken mind and now I'm free
I'll live with the Empty after you
I'll live with the Empty after you
I'll live with the Empty after you
I'll live with the Empty after you
