Lyrics
Empty
[Verse 1]
The remainder of a broken glass
Lies in fragments on the floor
With a discarded wine bottle
That once was full but is no more
Just like that bottle I'm redundant
Nothing useful's left inside
All the luck I had has disappeared
Along with every scrap of pride
[Chorus]
And I just feel so empty
Yes I just feel so low
I just feel so empty
I feel so empty now
[Verse 2]
I drink to make things better
But every thing's made worse
To get drunk was once a blessing
Now it's turned into a curse
And I am left here on my own
With no family by my side
They have turned away from me
They have run away to hide
And I just feel...
[Verse 3]
You stripped me of my dignity
Like a thief, purloined my pride
You came along and twisted
Everything I had inside
Now I feel discarded
With friends so far from reach
Just like a broken vessel
That's been washed up on a beach
And I just feel...
[Verse 4]
Everyone has walked away from me
They've turned their backs and made me grieve
Everyone I have ever loved
Tells me that they don't believe
If only they could see my now
If they could taste my salty tears
If only they could hold me now, just like a child
They could roll way the years
And I just feel ...
[Verse 5]
I threw that glass out of my hand
Smashed it down upon the floor
And as I did I vowed that you
Would not control me anymore
Yes I would take my life back
And no longer live in fear
I will never scream in silence
My new life begins right here
The emptiness is over
I no longer feel so low
Yes the emptiness is over
It's all over now
