letra de empty courage / empty heart - hotel books

[intro]
wait for the sunset
so you can see that you shine, too
darkness waits in secret
hoping your light shines through

[verse 1]
she told me about you and she couldn’t help but cry
i may not be a part of your family
but i can’t help myself sometimes
i love her so much, and you stole so many good times
so prodigal father, please listen:
i just want to give you my two cents to try to make things right

[verse 2]
’cause when she told me about you
she told me you were at the top of the line building up a tower holding onto secrets and holding onto power
but it wasn’t until you got to the top
that you realized your tower was a cliff
you saw the water splashing on the rocks below
and your mentality shifts
so you steal the innocence of every kid
who doesn’t even have an example set by you to live up to

[verse 3]
’cause there ‘s so much that goes into loving
more lovers than just the single mother
the others cast into a pocket you keep when you feel bothered
your courage and your heart are empty
but at least they go hand in hand
god forbid a single formidable kid ever mistakes you for a man because even your shadow wouldn’t follow
when you stepped into the dark
what’s gonna happen when you wake up
and realize you abandoned your family
and now you’ve fallen apart?

[verse 4]
staring straight through a brainwashed
wrinkles erased as they take their place upon her jawline
shifting while her chapped lips form the words
“i never wanted this”
every kiss is spread women you never intended to miss
you dismiss the chapter of innocence for every child that grows up without your example of what not to do
when trying to raising a kid

[verse 5]
your daughter says she hates you
and never wants to see you again
when really, she would k!ll just to have a father
to walk her down the aisle
when she is ready to trust a man
to not live up to the example you set
because the second she was born
was the second you took your final bow
and now somehow, she can’t believe the sound
of a man’s voice saying “i love you”

[verse 6]
from day one, you gave this beautiful gift a reason not to trust
and now she can’t see any love through
so come home, prodigal father, forgiveness is always possible
you could always walk on a straight line
so come home, prodigal father, forgiveness is always possible
and you could walk on that straight line
and on your way through the door, please pick up your spine
’cause whether you believe it or not, you’re a part of a family

[interlude]
wait for the sunset
so you can see that you shine too
darkness waits in secret
hoping your light shines through

[outro]
come home, come home, come home
forget all the promises you made
come home, come home, come home
’cause forgiveness is in its place
