Empty Tears

Tired of crying all these empty tears

I feel empty

Like a bucket with a hole

I feel empty

Like I've given my whole soul

I've been beat down first

With sticks and stones

But none hurt worse oh none hurt worse

Than the words that you have thrown

And I feel as if I've been crying all my life

Your words a repeated source of unending strife

So I'm tired, oh

Yeah I'm so tired, oh

I'm so tired of all these empty tears I cry

So I'm tired, oh

Yeah I'm so tired, oh

I'm so tired of all these empty tears I cry

You could have been nicer

All those years ago

But the axe is the slicer

And always forgets that the tree can no longer grow

I've felt numb and I've felt empty

As I've let our lives go by

But now I'm five and twenty

And still wonder what it's like to die

And I feel as if I've been crying all my life

Your words a repeated source of unending strife

So I'm tired, oh

Yeah I'm so tired, oh

I'm so tired of all these empty tears I cry

So I'm tired, oh

Yeah I'm so tired, oh

I'm so tired of all these empty tears I cry

Tired of all the miscommunication

Tired of all the fights

Sick of all the hesitation

Sick of all the apologies that never saw the lights

And you think all I wanna do is argue

And you joke about my flaws

But just as a bruise turns a dark hue

Your jokes lack my applause

So I'm tired, oh

Yeah I'm so tired, oh

I'm so tired of all these empty tears I cry
