J. Faith - Empty Voice Lyrics

There's not a single day that passes without you on my mind
Not even one minute can end it
Before you come around
I yearn for the days when I see your face here before me
I long for the times you held me in your arms

Am I wrong for being curious?
Or maybe just furious?
Tell me I don't know
Didn't think it would end so soon
Seeing you up in that hospital room
One phone call flipped it upside down
Put me on that flight wheels off the ground
Let me break it down
Heard the stories I don't hold them against you
Ima guess you made some decisions
That were best for you and I bet that you
Had the best intentions of
Making your way to come see me again
Helped me hold on every time you would pen
Another letter to make it better
Tell me one day we would be together
There was still that hole that you never filled
Promises you would help to build
I watched them fall til nothing left
You couldn't make it out
And we know the rest
Maybe you were the reason I enjoyed to write
My self expression when I'm up at night
Recording every thought of how much I loved you
Without you right here saying damn I love you
The only way, I could truly say
The things I felt no time of day
I shoulda told mom this is up to me
Go and ask him for an apology
What you two did isn't up to me
It's affecting me reluctantly
I could sit and blame you but I played a part
A little naive and a broken heart damn

There's not a single day that passes without you on my mind
Not even one minute can end it
Before you come around
I yearn for the days when I see your face here before me
I long for the times you held me in your arms

I think about how things would of changed
If you were there life rearranged
Same apartment building with the broken ceiling
With me growing up is the marriage healing?
Do we get that house we haven't left in decades
Celebrating those accolades
High school and then off to college
Intelligence only gettin polished
Tell me how to treat girl
My first date, even first base
Telling me things only dad would say
Mom shaking her head saying thats okay
First heart break
Feeling last place
Build a work ethic for the paper chase
Pass the baton for the life race
But in my case it's my pace
I could ponder how things could've been
Won't change the fact I lost you again
Once when you had to put the bottle down
It was too late and you're not around
Then I fast forward to a crash course
Of taking whatever life gives
11 19 2010 I was dead asleep
I lost you again
Return to senders all I'll ever get
The number you dialed will not connect
Your history is engraved now
Your body burned Your soul sound
I know you're at peace with no pain
But I can't contain my emotions
I'm coasting on this roller coaster
How can I move on like I'm supposed ta when

There's not a single day that passes without you on my mind
Not even one minute can end it
Before you come around
I yearn for the days when I see your face here before me
I long for the times you held me in your arms

I don't think you understand how hard it is
Screaming out I'm so over this
It wasn't meant to be
I still can't see why it happened to me
No apologies
No good byes no see you later
All I can wait for is my time
In the mean time I look up to you
Spread you wings so I'm comfortable
I act like everything is going fine
Inside I'm going out my mind
F*ck this hurts my apologies
It's haunting me I'm lost you see
A lonely road I shouldn't have to take
Somehow I feel it was my mistake
We're all adults and we make the choice
So why am I left with an empty voice
