Empty Words

[Intro]

Oh

Oh, yeah

[Verse 1]

The funny thing about hurt people Is

They tend to hurt people

The funny thing about lies is

They're only lies

The funny thing about hearts is

They tend to break easy

The funny thing about healing is

I'm alright

[Pre-Chorus]

Your voice was like a knife

It used to make me cry

You tried to cut my pride

Not this time

[Chorus]

So go ahead and say the things you gotta say

You know you're only throwing empty words my way

'Cause you won't break me

You won't break me

You can't take me down, no

[Verse 2]

The funny thing about listening is

I don't have to hear you

And the funny thing about talking is

Your words are tired

I've come to realize that

Life can be cruel but

The only approval that I need is mine

[Pre-Chorus]

Your voice was like a knife

It used to make me cry

You tried to cut my pride

Not this time, yeah

[Chorus]

So go ahead (Go ahead) and say the things you gotta say

You know you're only throwing empty words my way (My way)

'Cause you won't break me (Won't break me)

You won't break me (You can't break me)

You can't take me down, no (no more)

So go ahead and say the things you gotta say (Go on and say it)

It's only empty words a million miles away

'Cause you won't break me (Won't break me)

You won't break me (Oh, you can't take me)

You can't take me down, no

[Verse 3]

The hardest part of this

Cannot be heard or seen

This journey starts when I begin loving me

[Chorus]

So go ahead and say the things you gotta say

You know you're only throwing empty words my way

'Cause you won't break me (You're never gonna break me)

You won't break me (You're never gonna take me)

You can't take me down, no (No, no)

So go ahead (Say it)

And say the things you gotta say (You gotta say it)

It's only empty words a million miles away (A million miles away)

'Cause you won't break me (Won't break me)

You won't break me (Never break me, oh, never, never)

You can't take me down, no

[Outro]

So go ahead and say the things you gotta say

You know you're only throwing empty words my way
