Empty Space (Vevo Live Acoustic) - James Arthur

Secrets across his face A lazy man without space He walks alone in a burning way Hidden in an unlikely place Restless dreams tiptoe in his arms Bring him down

She lifts her skirt up to her knees Walks through the garden rows with her bare feet, laughing I never learned to count my blessings I choose instead to dwell in my disasters Walk on down the hill Through the grass grown tall and brown And still it's hard somehow to let go of my pain On past the busted back Of that old and rusted Cadillac That sinks into this field collecting rain Will I always feel this way? So empty, so estranged Of these cutthroat busted sunsets These cold and damp white mornings I have grown weary If through my cracked and dusty dimestore lips I spoke these words out loud would no one hear me Lay your blouse across the chair Let fall the flowers from your hair And kiss me with that country mouth so plain Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves To me it sounds like they're applauding us The quiet love we make Will I always feel this way? So empty, so estranged Well I looked my demons in the eye Laid bare my chest said do your best destroy me See I've been to hell and back so many times I must admit you kinda bore me There's a lot of things that can kill a man There's a lot of ways to die Yes and some already dead who walk beside me There's a lot of things I don't understand Why so many people lie Well it's the hurt I hide that fuels the fire inside me. Will I always feel this way? So empty, so estranged

I feel the trembling tingle of a sleepless night, Creep through my fingers and the moon is bright. Beams of blue come flickering through my windowpane, Like Gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame. And I wonder if you know, that I never understood, that Although you said you'd go, until you did, I never thought you would. Moonlight use to bath the contours of your face. Chestnut hair fell all around the pillowcase. And the fragrance of your flowers rest beneath my head, A sympathy bouquet left with a love that's dead. And I wonder if you know, that I never understood, That although you said you'd go, until you did, I never thought you would. Never thought the words you said were true. Never thought you said just what you meant. Never knew how much I needed you. Never thought you'd leave, until you went. Morning comes and morning goes with no regret. Evening brings the memories I can't forget. Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs, Empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairs. And I wonder if you know, that I never understood, That although you said you'd go, until you did, I never thought you would.

We're all strangers Fighting in the streets with no common ground We're just strangers Tryna find release when there's none around Then there's you You don't feel that much a stranger You stand out from all the crowds I don't feel that much in danger I was lost till I found you Baby, baby, won't you please come rescue me? I don't really wanna stay if you're not All I know is that I need you, baby Hold me close so I can finally breathe We're all strangers Fighting gravity, stuck here on the ground We're just strangers Tryna keep the peace when there's none around Then there's you You're my little ray of sunshine You are immortality You make me forget about time And how it's comin' for me, so Baby, baby, won't you please come rescue me? I don't really wanna stay if you're not All I know is that I need you, baby Hold me close so I can finally breathe Finally breathe, finally breathe Hold me close so I can finally When you tell me that you love me, babe You bring the sun and take away my pain And the anxiety is miles away I didn't know that I could feel that way I didn't know life was so beautiful 'til I held you Oh, yeah Your eyes make me feel like I'm off floating on air When you look at me, fuck, everything else but you, yeah I don't wanna be there, so Baby, baby, won't you please come rescue me? I don't really wanna stay if you're not All I know is that I need you, baby Hold me close so I can finally Hold me close so I can finally Hold me close so I can finally breathe
