Empty Hands

When you look into my hands
You always say my hand aren't empty.
When I look into my hand
I always say that my hand are empty.

When my hands are full of flowers
You always say my hands are empty.
When I look at myself in a mirror
I only think:"Why are my hands are so empty."

When you told me to hold your hand
Everywhere we go, and to not let it go
I think I finally understand
Why my hands were so empty.

My hands are empty when
They're not holding yours.
Now I know when our hands
Are empty or not.
