Empty

You claim that you love me

Say it all day

But when it comes to showing it

You seem to go astray

"She means nothing to me!" You say

"It's all just a lie!"

But what you don't know is

I see the truth in your eyes

Harder and harder

night after night

I'm more and more tempted

to give up my fight

But I'm Whitney, of course

I put my troubles aside

It's my duty to smile

But I'm empty inside.
