Empty Victory

[Verse] I wore the mask I played the part I broke his heart I tore him apart Had my day had my way Watched him fall from far away [Verse 2] The cheers they fade the lights they dim Now I stand alone within No warmth no cheer just silence near What have I done to end up here [Chorus] Empty victory it's dawning on me The tears of the hero won’t set me free Got what I wanted but lost who I am This empty victory feels like a sham [Bridge] The thrill is gone the fire's out Here I am filled with doubt What’s the price what’s the cost In winning this I've only lost [Verse 3] The shadows dance the silence hums An echo of the pain that comes Is this the end is this my fate Living life consumed by hate [Chorus] Empty victory it's dawning on me The tears of the hero won’t set me free Got what I wanted but lost who I am This empty victory feels like a sham
