empty words

the funny thing about hurting 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

your voice was like a knife

it used to make me cry

you tried to cut my pride

not this time

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

the funny thing about listening is

i don't have to hear you and the

funny thing about talking is

your words are tired

now i've come to realize that

life can be cruel but

the only approval that i need is mine

your voice was like a knife

it used to make me cry

you tried to cut my pride

not this time

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

so go ahead and say the things you gotta say

it's only empty words a million miles away

cause you won't break me

you won't break me

you can't take me down

no

the hardest part of this

cannot be heard or seen

this journey starts when i begin loving me

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

so go ahead and say the things you gotta say

it's only empty words a million miles away

cause you won't break me

you won't break me

you can't take me down

no

so go ahead and say the things you gotta say

you know you're only throwing empty words my way
