Empty Words

I spoke with the neighbor
You’re staying out later
And somebody new just dropped you off
You said you were through with
All the excuses
Saying you only think of us
But I found the text that
You sent to your ex and
I called out the red stains on your palm
But here you’re are crying
And always denying
That anything more is going on

(Chorus)
Empty words
You say it’s the last time
Empty words
Your lips tell only lies
And your eyes
Are still avoiding mine
You sell empty words your actions never buy

I had my suspicions
You made some omissions
Where you and the girls went out last night
At six in the morning
You still were ignoring
Attempts just to make sure you’re alright
Now here I am sifting
The stories you give me
For any resemblance of the truth
But all that I’m finding
Is proof that you’re lying
And all of your threads keep pulling loose

(Chorus)
Empty words
You say it’s the last time
Empty words
Your lips tell only lies
And your eyes
Are still avoiding mine
You sell empty words your actions never buy

(Bridge)
Why do you try so hard to string along my heart?
Why did you take so long to pull our world apart?
You try to justify but all I hear are
Empty words
Empty words

(Chorus)
Empty words
You say it’s the last time
Empty words
Your lips tell only lies
And your eyes
Are still avoiding mine
Like you just can’t bear to look me in the eyes
You sell empty words your actions never buy
