Amanda Shires - Empty Cups

You were looking away towards the tree
There was a time you used to listen closer to me
As close as the air is to the sea
So close I could feel you breathe

Now we got here I'd say quietly
As quietly as those same trees could have shade
One day at a time and further away
Further and further, further away

Now my hands are two empty cups
Maybe I was asking for a little too much
To keep the newness from wearing off
For every start thеre's gonna be a stop

You're lеaving now through the hole of an argument
I guess for a while you've been looking for the exit
You slammed the door so hard I still hear it rattling ...
The sound of silence rings in every room

The last talk ___ and making a rainbow if tears
Turning everything blurry I can't see a thing from here
I tried so hard to make myself clea
Life can't help but interfere

You used to lean in like I was whispering
I need excuse to get nearer again
I still miss the way you lean in
What happened between now and then

Now my hands are two empty cups
Maybe I was asking for a little too much
To keep the newness from wearing off
For every start there's gonna be a stop

I was always a sucker for your ...
There was a time when I was everything
And I tried so hard to make myself clea
Somehow life interferes

Now my hands are two empty cups
Maybe I was asking for a little too much
To keep the newness from wearing off
For every start there's gonna be a stop

My hands are two empty cups
Maybe I was asking for a little too much
To keep the newness from wearing off
For every start there's gonna be a stop
