Empty Words Lyrics by Decades

The Truth and Other People

2017

[Intro]
Throw away the key
I am ready to be
The quiet pretender
Anything is better

[Verse 1]
Than the lush that I've become
All over a little lost love
Grow up and dust it off
You knew the risks

[Pre Chorus]
I believe that nothing good
I believe that nothing good will come of this
I believe that nothing good
I believe that nothing good will come of these...

[Chorus]
Empty words
We use to fill the silences
Another cliched phrase
When the pain doesn't seem to fade
Empty words
Taste just like sugar pills to me
Another gift of age
We're not here to be saved

[Verse 2]
Fighting with the night
The hours keep ticking by
I wish I was stronger
Find my strength in another
The days have all become
A grey I just can't shake off
The pity I've fallen on
Was made for fools

[Pre Chorus]
I believe that nothing good
I believe that nothing good will come of this
I believe that nothing good
I believe that nothing good will come of these...

[Chorus]
Empty words
We use to fill the silences
Another cliched phrase
When the pain doesn't seem to fade
Empty words
Taste just like sugar pills to me
Another gift of age
We're not here to be saved

[Outro}
Empty words
Empty words
We used to fill the silences
Empty words
Taste just like sugar pills to me
Another gift of age
We're not here to be saved
