Lyrics
there?s so much I?m wanting to say to you
but they tell me it isn?t my place
I use to live like you I use to choose
to be the one to try to fill up
his dry empty space
but things changed
it?s completely one sided
I?m an expert in this type of guy
but you still justify it
pretending to drink from the bottle
but, honey, it?s dry
it?s so empty here on the inside
it?s so empty here on the inside
its so empty here on the inside
and I'm trying to leave, but why can?t I
there?s so much I?m wanting to say to you
but I realize it?s not my concern
I used to think
that all the things I worked through
I should offer
for others to learn
but it?s not
the advise that you want
it?s completely one sided
I?m an expert in this type of lie
but you still justify it
pretending to drink from the bottle
but, honey it?s dry
it?s so empty here on the inside
it?s so empty here on the inside
its so empty here on the inside
and I?m trying to leave, but why can?t I
I am the albatross
this desert?s hard to cross
I have a feeling I?ve forgotten something
I am the albatross
this desert?s hard to cross
I have a feeling
I?ve forgotten something - I?m empty
