Empty Words

[Verse 1]

You left, needed to find yourself

Just an excuse to go and look for someone else

You're back, you're thinking just like that

I can forgive, but let me tell you what I can't forget


[Pre-Chorus]

Me standing there

As you walked away

Ignoring me when I was begging you to stay

You never turned around

Not even once

While I called your name, said, "Is this what you really want?"


[Chorus]

But they were empty words

Now I'm way too numb to ever let them hurt

You didn't get the best of me

I rescued what was left of me

Save it, you can keep your empty words


[Verse 2]

You're here, through crocodile tears

You make your case describing how much you have changed

You're sure, 'cause it's always worked before

You persuade me you won't doubt your feelings anymore


[Pre-Chorus]

So confident

But you'll be surprised

It took a while but I can finally recognize

I'm so much better off

With someone else

Who can see what they have when it's right in front of them


[Chorus]

And won't give me empty words

Now I'm way too numb to ever let them hurt

You didn't get the best of me

I rescued what was left of me

Save it, you can keep your empty words


[Chorus]

Don't need your empty words

Now I'm way too numb to ever let them hurt

You didn't get the best of me

I rescued what was left of me

Save it, you can keep your empty words
