Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I've been feeling so frustrated I'll never be as great as I want to be Everyone that I run into The ones you always seem so into What's wrong with me? They all seem to know exactly What it is they want, they pass me They smile as they go So I work at staying patient Good things come to those that wait Or so they say I'm so empty You're all I'm thinking about, about Oh oh, about, about Oh oh oh, about, about Oh oh oh, about, about I get tired of trying Ideas die on the vine And I feel like a fake I lie awake believing That somehow I keep failing I rail and I ache At the monsters and the demons I've wrestled with for eons And I want to destroy I'm so empty You're all I talk about Oh oh-out You're all I talk about Every day, every hour of the night You're all I think about Every day, every hour of the night You're all I dream about Every day, every hour of the night You're all I think about You're all I think about I'm so empty I'm so empty I'm so empty You're all I'm thinking about About, about, oh oh oh, about I'm so empty
