**[Intro]** *(Soft piano, whispered vocals)* Every word... Every promise... Every whisper... Meant everything... Until it meant nothing... **[Verse 1]** Words softly spoken in the dead of night Wrapped in comfort, dressed in white The sweetest lies fell from your tongue Like lullabies to the broken ones Every sentence pulled me close Every vow became a ghost I believed every breath you gave Never knowing I'd become your grave **[Pre-Chorus]** The most profound expression... The pettiest emotions... How could something sound so beautiful... Yet leave a soul so broken? **[Chorus]** Empty expressions... Beautiful deception... Every "I love you" Was another infection You built me up Just to watch me fall A thousand words... That meant nothing at all Empty expressions... A heartless confession... You stole my faith With your perfect impression **[Verse 2]** Words spoken only just to hurt Words that dragged me through the dirt Words that promised I belonged Only proving I was wrong Words that lifted me so high Only to leave me there to die Every kiss became goodbye Every truth another lie **[Pre-Chorus]** How can ecstasy of words Become damnation of emotions? How can love become a weapon? How did I become devotion? **[Chorus]** Empty expressions... Beautiful deception... Every "I love you" Was another infection You built me up Just to watch me fall A thousand words... That meant nothing at all **[Breakdown]** *(Deep growls)* YOUR TONGUE WAS A KNIFE! Every promise... A loaded gun! Every smile... Another war! You stole the purest trust... From the purest heart... NOW CHOKE... ON YOUR... OWN... LIES!! **[Bridge]** *(Clean vocals over strings and piano)* Only the fullest of words... With the emptiest of hearts... I gave you everything... You tore me apart... You taught me fear... You taught me pain... Now every "I love you" Sounds exactly the same... **[Final Chorus]** Empty expressions... A beautiful disease... You made me believe Then brought me to my knees Every word echoes Inside my soul Leaving behind A heart with a hole Empty expressions... I'll hear them forever... But I'll never let Your lies define me... **[Outro]** *(Whispered)* Some words heal... Some words haunt... Yours... Will echo... Forever...
