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 will just never learn

I know you laughed all night after you said that to me
You bared your teeth so white, like you were hungry for me
But 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 (x2)
Like a really old, dirty old friend (x2)

I could have cried all night when you said 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 dirty old, dirty old friend (x4)
