Empty Shell

So here we are
It never goes much further than this
Still we wait for that splendid kiss
And nothing can prepare us
For what we've been through
Nothing can ever escape us
Everything we've seen
Everything we're meant
Still I wait here
Trying to forget
Trying to forget
I can't forget
I can't forget
So I keep on
Looking towards the night
Feeling how far
What's waiting here
Such a great day

I know it's gonna be so much greater than it ever could have been
But there's that misery
That glorious torture
To keep me in line
With those thoughts
And I'll keep reaching out
And I'll keep feeling
Until there's nothing more
Cause I can't keep on
I can't forget
I can't give in
I can't give up
There's gotta be something more than this

And you'll wait here for hours
And keep seeing everything
Fade away
Turn to grey
So here I am
Offering you
More than I should
More than I could
And in the end you'll know
When you wake up
