Graham Coxon - 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)
