I'm standing at a mirror I don't know who I'm looking at This part I play that I didn't write Have I gone too far to come back
I wish you could see the real me More than just this song and dance But that's all you saw to begin with So that's what I gave you at last
CHORUS: I'm empty as a desert well But I built the walls of this mirrored cell It was a spiraled game of show and tell And you beat me every time (every time)
I feel as easy to see through As a candidate for political office in DC Yet my loneliness is carefully hidden Though I'm dying to let it be seen yeah-e-yeah
CHORUS(2x)
BRIDGE: Tear me down See me naked This tired facade Is wearin thin yeah It's wearin thin Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah Wwhhoo-hhhooo hhhoooo-yyeeaahh Wwhhoo-hhhooo hhhoooo-yyeeaahhh Wwhhoo-hhhhhhhhoooooooo
CHORUS
I'm empty (as a desert well) I'm empty (as a desert well) I'm empttyyy (as a desert well) I'm empty (as a desert well)
