Leave Me Empty Songtext
von Lydia Luce

People keep saying I should walk it off
Good things come and they go
Call it a stroke of bad luck
It′ll go away on its own
But I'm alone at night and I′ve been crying
My back's up against the wall
Don't you talk to me ′bout perspective
Why can′t you leave it alone?

'Cause I′m hollow, nothing but a shell and a shadow
Holding myself on a tightrope, dangling
I can't cast it off, cup out of Maries just to pass along
All the time I′m gonna spend here alone patiently
You can't fill me up, so leave me empty


People keep begging me to talk it out
But I stay paralyzed
Hoping for the words to speak it up
But I cannot describe
That I′m lost in my own head
With a dormancy in my mind
And a world beyond my bed
But I can't go outside

'Cause I′m hollow, nothing but a shell and a shadow
Holding myself on a tightrope, dangling
I can′t cast it off, cup out of Maries just to pass along
All the time I'm gonna spend here alone patiently
You can′t fill me up, so leave me empty

I'm bracing for the worst
I′ll let it run its course
Missed by and locked me down
But you can't save me now
You can′t take this whole weight

I'm hollow, nothing but a shell and a shadow
Holding myself on a tightrope, dangling
I can't cast it off, cup out of Maries just to pass along
All the time I′m gonna spend here alone patiently
I will wait here patiently
You can′t fill me up, so leave me empty
