Empty Words

This is about apologies that mean nothing.

Empty Words

 

Verse:

These two words that come from you, I know that they're not true

Since you've had to say them like a broken record

But at first I thought they were sincere

Especially when you were near to my heart

But I never would've thought....

 

(Chorus)

When you say I'm sorry, you're speaking empty words

I can tell by your eyes

When you say I'll change, it's a lie

You used me, you never really wanted me

And every apology was empty words

 

Verse: Tell me, honey, would you like, if I didn't mean a word I said?

So why would you do that to me?

I never gave a thought about

What the future would bring for us

But now I know....

 

(Chorus)

When you say I'm sorry, you're speaking empty words

 I can tell by your eyes

When you say I'll change, it's a lie

You used me, you never really wanted me

And every apology was empty words

 

 Bridge:

You were always in my dreams

You were a part of me

Your picture in every frame I own

I held you through tears

And now I'm in tears

But this never was one of my fears

And yesterday, my father asked,

 "Why haven't I seen her in a while?"

 

(Chorus)

When you say I'm sorry, you're speaking empty words

When you say I'll change, it's a lie

 You used me, you never really wanted me

 And every apology was empty words

oh, empty words.

 I held you through tears, and now I'm in tears.

 Because of your empty words.
