I'll keep countin' empties
Until you love me
Eventually we're meant to be
I'll keep countin' empties
Until you love me
A side of you I'll never see

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
I'll keep countin' empties
Until you love me
There's emptiness inside of 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
