Helpless Heart

Woke up feeling hollow through the gray
Every step I take just slips away
Dreams are fading into endless night
Grabbing shadows but they disappear from sight

No hope in the mailbox just empty words
Love is like a bird but I lose the words
Stars above me they won't even glow
In this hapless world I got nowhere to go

Oh my heartstrings playin' tunes of blue
Every beat reminds me of a love so true
But in this song you’re just a ghost
Leaving me in this world so lost

Coffee tastes like tears it's black and cold
Memories are stories I can't retell nor hold
Pictures on the mantle they look away
In the mirror I see a soul in disarray

Echoes in the hallway whisper pain
Each sound a reminder of our sweet refrain
Raindrops outside they share my tears
Walking through this life living all my fears

Oh my heartstrings playin' tunes of blue
Every beat reminds me of a love so true
But in this song you’re just a ghost
Leaving me in this world so lost
