Empty tracks without you

Inspired by a love story

Empty tracks without you
By Michelle Morris

I tried to get you out of my head
I tried to get you out of my heart
But there was no way out for me
I was in too deep from the start

And even when I tried to leave
The ghosts of us would hold me back
I feel like there's no way out of this
There's nothing but empty tracks

Without you 
Without you 
Only empty tracks within you 
Without you 
Without you 
I don't know if I'll be pulling through

Without you 
Without you 
Without you 

Oh, oh, oh... Why...?
Why do our hearts work this way?
Oh, oh, oh... Why...?
Why can't we choose to go or stay?

Sometimes...
Sometimes...
Sometimes...
It seems impossible 

Sometimes...
Sometimes...
Sometimes...
It's not up to us 

We're part of the Universe's dust
Starlight and Stardust within
Starlight and Stardust without
Starlight and Stardust forever remembering

Oh, oh, oh... 
Oh, oh, oh... 

Oh, oh, oh... Why...?
Why do our hearts work this way?
Oh, oh, oh... Why...?
Why can't we choose to go or stay?

My love
My love 
My love 

I tried to get you out of my head
I tried to get you out of my heart
But there was no way out for me
I was in too deep from the start

And even when I tried to leave
The ghosts of us would hold me back
I feel like there's no way out of this
There's nothing but empty tracks

Without you 
Without you 
Without you
