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 hair Darling, 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 chance While I spent years looking back Got me nowhere, got me nowhere While the wind caught your hair Yes, the wind caught your hair Darling, 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 late Darling, no more empty words (Can't you feel for a second?) They're just hurtful and misleading Can't you see that?
