lyrics

EMPTY

She didn't wanna do it
But you made me

Take my eyes
I don't wanna see you
Take my ears
And I won't hear you
Take my pride
I don't wanna lose you
Take my fist
And I won't bruise you
Take my hands
I don't wanna feel you
Take my mind
And I won't fear you
Take my lips
I don't wanna lust you
Take my lies
I don't trust you

Now all I am is empty
Got nothing left in me
And its killing me
To be so empty

Pain...take it
Cause I don't wanna hurt you
Game...play it
And I won't burn you
Guilt...lay it
Cause I don't wanna blame you
Words...say it
And I won't shame you
Heart...break it
Cause I don't wanna hate you
Soul...take it
And I won't rape you
Blood...spill it
Cause I don't wanna shove you
Love...kill it
Cause I won't fuck you

And all I am is empty
Don't need your sympathy
You're confusing me
While your consuming me
Now all I am is empty
With nothing left in me
And it's killing me
To be so empty

As long as I hold you in contempt I hold you
Resentment is just my way of holding on

And now it's over
I feel no pain
I can't pretend
I'm not the same
Stole my soul
Self control
You don't know me anymore
Tried to hide the way you kept me
But you left me fucking empty
You left me
So fucking empty
And I'm the one to blame
