Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I lied to you back then
Twenty years gone by
I wore a clean face
And left the truth behind
I never said the hard part
I let it rot in me
Now every quiet dinner
Feels like a locked-up key
[Pre-Chorus]
I said we’d be all right
But I never showed up
I held the door open
Then I walked right off
[Chorus]
My empty words
(Empty words)
They keep me up
(Keep me up)
I wanted good
For us, for us
But wanting’s not enough
My empty words
(Empty words)
I know they cut
(I know they cut)
I love you still
I love you still
And I hate what I’ve done
[Verse 2]
I’m bad at naming hurt
I swallow every plea
You ask me what I’m feeling
And I hand you a lie for free
I wanted us to heal
But I kept my hands apart
The map was in my pocket
I just never left the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
I said we’d be all right
But I never showed up
I held the door open
Then I walked right off
[Chorus]
My empty words
(Empty words)
They keep me up
(Keep me up)
I wanted good
For us, for us
But wanting’s not enough
My empty words
(Empty words)
I know they cut
(I know they cut)
I love you still
I love you still
And I hate what I’ve done
[Bridge]
If I could go back
I’d choose the truth
I’d say your name
And stay with you
No more hiding
No more delay
I can’t unbreak it
But I can say
[Final Chorus]
My empty words
(Empty words)
They keep me up
(Keep me up)
I wanted good
For us, for us
But wanting’s not enough
My empty words
(Empty words)
I know they cut
(I know they cut)
I love you still
I love you still
Please let my silence stop

Style
Indie alternative acoustic with female vocals, fingerpicked guitar and soft brushed percussion; verse stays intimate and close-mic, pre-chorus opens with rising harmony and a low cello bed, chorus lands on stacked vocals and a gentle tambourine pulse. Use breathy doubles, a few cracked-word delay throws, and tucked-in backing echoes on the hook. Add a reversed guitar swell into each chorus, little fret squeaks and room-tone between lines, warm lo-fi and tender in the mix., acoustic
