I don't understand it myself
Though I hope sometimes you would
Empty means to empty causes
I don't do the things I should

Every time I write a letter
Every time I hesitate
Should I start one for you also
And then throw it into the flames

Many times I want to give up
Writing letters all together
But many times I also wonder
What are we?  Are we just
Two strangers who once walked side by side
Who've chosen parallel paths
Ever since the silent storm at dawn?

Oh my friend, my friend, forgive me
But I give the best I could
I don't understand it myself
Though I hope sometimes you would

Phantom faces where I wander
Phantom shadows where I turn
Empty means to empty causes
Still the fire in my eyes would burn

Oh my friend, my friend, don't ask me
What the things we do are for
Empty means to empty causes
Contradictions grow more and more
