I'm standing at a mirror I don't know who I'm looking at this part I play that I didn't write have I gone too far to come back I wish you could see the real me more than just this song and dance but that's all you saw to begin with so that's what I gave you at last CHORUS: I'm empty as a desert well but I built the walls of this mirrored cell it was a spiraled game of show and tell and you beat me every time (every time) I feel as easy to see through as a candidate for political office in DC yet my loneliness is carefully hidden though I'm dying to let it be seen yeah-e-yeah CHORUS(2x) BRIDGE: tear me down see me naked this tired facade is wearin thin yeah it's wearin thin yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah wwhhoo-hhhooo hhhoooo-yyeeaahh wwhhoo-hhhooo hhhoooo-yyeeaahhh wwhhoo-hhhhhhhhoooooooo CHORUS I'm empty (as a desert well) I'm empty (as a desert well) I'm empttyyy (as a desert well) I'm empty (as a desert well)
