insane, i boxed the snarling dragon's snout
and bruised its lips, bruised knuckles on its teeth
i struck its eyes above and chin beneath
it snarled and growled, i punched it all about

my desperation vanished quick all doubt
without a mighty sword, even a sheath--
to slice open that throat just underneath--
just ****** flurry storm with thunder shout

i pried open its mouth, my damsel there
much deeper in the throat this time around
i reached and pulled her out past snapping jaws

how often must i raid this dragon's lair
to save one who in dragon's mouth be found
so frequently delicious with her flaws?

Ill take the train at the same time
the same stop, the same side
We'll reminisce about old days
to try and fill the awkward space tonight

I'll play those songs you used to love
while we try and fall in love again
no idea who's wrong or right
but we don't care enough to fight
we're going through the motions
don't think we can fix what's broken...
and I know it's gonna hurt
but my dear I'll go first
I just can't keep on saying... those three empty words
No, I can't keep saying... those three empty words

Use to talking everyday
now I wouldn't know what to say to ya
What really starts to break me down
I tried holding on, couldn't save us

Might've been easier to stay
But it'd never be the same, no oh no..
You never know when it's gonna change
didn't think I'd see us being here

Hm, we're going through the motions
don't think we can fix what's broken
and I know it's gonna hurt
but my dear I'll go first
I just can't keep on saying those three empty words
those three empty words
seem to only make it worst
so tired, can't take anymore
those three empty words
only make it worst
both tired, hearts empty on the floor

we're going through the motions
don't think we can fix what's broken
and I know it's gonna hurt
but my dear I'll go first
I just can't keep on saying those three empty words
we don't have to keep on saying those three empty words
But I'll always remember you first saying... those three empty words.
Shawn Mendes inspired from his song "Empty words" this one just flew off me. Needed to write something that just related and made sense. Yet, I still love her but accepted it all and have created music to express that...even if I wish it was different and we were together. This is my story. Took small parts from his and mixed it up. Enjoy
