Empty Table Blues

Verse 1

Put my hands into the burning flame

Just to find a way to fix your broken name

You look at me with eyes as cold as stone

Treating me like I am just a pile of bone

Working day and night for every cent I own

I give it all and still I stand here alone

Pre-Chorus

Ain't a single thank you

Nowhere near your mouth

The sun is going south

On the way we lived

Chorus

No gratitude for the life I gave you

No respect for the man I used to be

There is no love left inside this kitchen

You took the best of my years away from me

Yeah you took the best and you set it free

Now there is nothing but the shadows I see

Verse 2

Stitched your pride back when the seams were torn

Now I'm just a target for your biting scorn

The table is heavy with the weight of pride

Searching for a reason just to stay inside

My dignity has up and died

Running out of places left for me to hide

Pre-Chorus

Ain't a single thank you

Nowhere near your mouth

The sun is going south

On the way we lived

Chorus

No gratitude for the life I gave you

No respect for the man I used to be

There is no love left inside this kitchen

You took the best of my years away from me

Yeah you took the best and you set it free

Now there is nothing but the shadows I see

Bridge

Maybe you forgot the promises you made

Deep beneath the bitter games you played

Harder to remember than to just forget

Leaving me with nothing but this deep regret

Chorus

No gratitude for the life I gave you

No respect for the man I used to be

There is no love left inside this kitchen

You took the best of my years away from me

Yeah you took the best and you set it free

Now there is nothing but the shadows I see

No gratitude

No respect

No love

Just me
