Testo Empty Words - Beth Crowley

Empty Words

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
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?»
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
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
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
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
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
