I'm so cold, I keep putting you on hold
When you just need a human being
Livin' with you is too much for me to do
'Cause I'm hardwired to split the scene
I built this home out of testosterone
And you're still huffin' estrogen
You want to make believe I'm anyone but me
But I just couldn't give a damn
I give you all a man could give
But those words never cross these lips
You deserve better than this
'Cause when I see you cry
I'm empty inside
I'm empty inside
Like Joan Didion, I'm a little removed
'Cause artists gotta live in their heads
Yeah, it's all about me and Calliope
And you're the Ethiopian kid
You got flies on your belly and you can't even cry
Is this all there is to my life?
Like a gift-wrapped box looks so pretty at first
But then you find it's empty inside
I'll give you all a man could give
But those words never cross these lips
You deserve better than this
'Cause when I see you cry
I'm empty inside
And I can't hide
I'm empty inside
I'm empty inside
I'm empty inside
When I see you cry
I'm empty inside
And I can't hide
I'm empty inside
No matter how I try
I'm empty inside
I'm empty inside
I'm empty inside

Lyrics
I'm so cold, I kept putting you on hold
When you just want a human being
Stayin' with you is too much for me to do
'Cause I'm hardwired to split the scene
I built this home out of testosterone
And you're high on your estrogen
You want to make believe I'm anyone but me
But I just couldn't give a damn
We deserve so much better than this
Ain't nobody should be living like this
...
... empty inside
Empty inside
There's no where to run or hide
Joan Didion is a little removed
'Cause writers have to live in their heads
It's all about me and Calliope
And you're an Ethiopian kid
You got flies on your belly and you can't even cry
Is this all there is to my life?
Like a gift-wrapped box looks so pretty at first
But then you find it's empty inside
We deserve so much better than this
Ain't nobody should be living like this
...
...
I'm empty inside
There's nothing to say
There's nowhere to hide
No, I'm empty inside
Empty inside
...
