Counting Empties Paroles

I'll give you a week or three
To be in the state you need to be
To love me and all that means
Let me lend you happiness
The side of you I miss

I was sad before I was lonely
You're just saying words, you don't know me
I was sad before I was lonely
Before you even knew me
Before you even knew me

Hide emotions deep beneath the ground
The floorboards creak, I hear a sobbin' sound
You kept me up so late
The touch of your hands made my skin vibrate

I was sad before I was lonely
You're just saying words, you don’t know me The emptiness inside of me
Until you love me
A side of you I'll never see
A side of you I'll never see
Until you love me
There's emptiness inside of me

I was sad before I was lonely
You're just saying words, you don't know me
I'll keep countin' empties until you love me
There's emptiness inside of me

The emptiness inside of me
