An Empty Cup Lyrics by American Opera

Small Victories

2017

What happened to those babies that you took inside your home?
And what did you say to Jesus that made him step down from his throne?
I am aware of your cold stare, I saw eyes glowing in the night…
I tried to move but I was paralyzed...

Have I not tried hard enough?
I've broken hearts
I've spilled my guts...
Drinking out of an empty cup for you…

Oh my dear friends I give thanks yet I am ungrateful
Yeah, I have faith but then again I am unfaithful…
Because you will not find the good if you ain't looking for evil, too…
And you can't believe in God without believing in you know who…
Oh you know who…
Oh you know who...

Have I not tried hard enough?
I've broken hearts
I've spilled my guts...
Drinking out of an empty cup for you…

Oh, I felt you on the way home
Were you looking for me?
Is there something you need?

Have I not tried hard enough?
I've broken hearts
I've spilled my guts...
Drinking out of an empty cup for you…

I won't be the only one waiting around for your son
Drinking out of an empty cup for you...

I know...
