Graham Coxon Empty Word Lyrics

Empty Word Lyrics

I could have laughed all night

When you said that to me

With your mud red eyes looking straight through me

Cause Love is such an empty word

And life's hollow and absurd

And I, I'll just never learn 

I know you laughed all night

After you said that to me

You bared you teeth so white

Like you were hungry for me

And you, you're just so complete

And I, I'm just such a freak

And we, we just can't compete



I got that feeling and it's weighing me down

Like a really old, really old friend

Like a really old, dirty old friend



I could have cried all night

When you say that to me

Cause you have no right

To be talking to me

Cause love is such an empty word

And life is hollow and absurd

And I, I'll just never learn

I feel the pressure and it's burning me out

Like a really old, dirty old friend
