LEA MICHELE
"Empty Handed"
(David Hodges / Christina Perri / John Shanks)

If I came to you empty handed
A barren ocean with nothing at all
And if I came to you empty hearted
Searching for pieces after the fall

[Bridge:]
All I've ever known is how to hide a secret
But I'm tired of going on without believeing
That love is not illusion
Love illuminates the blind

[Chorus:]
If I, fell into you, would it be close enough?
If I, finally let you in, would you show me what love is?
If I had nothing to give

If you came to me empty handed
I'd brave your ocean to bring you home
And if you came to me empty hearted
I'd find the pieces to make you whole

[Chorus:]
If I, fell into you, would it be close enough?
If I, finally let you in, would you show me what love is?
If I had nothing to give

If I am a promise, will you let me break again?
I will be your compass, I would only let you bend

[Bridge:]
All I've ever known is how to hide a secret
But I'm tired of going on without believing
That love is not illusion
Love illuminates the blind

[Chorus:]
If I, fell into you, would it be close enough?
If I, finally let you in, would you show me what love is?
If I had nothing to give

[Outro:]
Oh, oo, oo
If I had nothing to give
