What good are your empty words?
Saying I love you when you know it's not true.
Calling off what was planned almost three months ago.

What good are your empty words?
Never following through with thoughts.
Crushing our dreams of ever being US.

What good are your empty words?
It's time to say good bye to your empty words.
Say good bye to us because I don't tolerate empty words anymore.

I was writing a script for Church.
Jesus: I don't tell you the point because a story is better than empty words. I have experienced many times where someone uses empty words.
