No More Empty Words

You don't need to be afraid
Those hesitations of the past
Your best selling paperback
The ugly duckling has the last laugh
Everybody's got a fighting chance'Cause I've spent years looking back
Got me nowhere, got me nowhere
While the wind caught your hair
Yes, the wind caught your hairDarling, no more empty words
They're just hurtful and misleading
Can't you see that?
Darling, no more empty words
They're just hurtful and misleading
Can't you see that?So you threw it all away
But you're worth the whole damn lot of them
But this morning something changed
I saw my life stretched over plains
And everybody had a fighting chanceWhile I spent years looking back
Got me nowhere, got me nowhere
While the wind caught your hair
Yes, the wind caught your hairDarling, no more empty words
They're just hurtful and misleading
Can't you see that?Darling, no more empty words
(Can't you feel for a second?)
They're just hurtful and misleading
Can't you see that?Someday I'll rise up again
And try to make something in my life
It's not too lateDarling, no more empty words
(Can't you feel for a second?)
They're just hurtful and misleading
Can't you see that?
