Empty Heart Shaped Box Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Packing up my love, feel it in my gut
All of your memories twisted inside of me
Nothing I can hold, I'm no good on my own
You got the best of me, and I got a missing piece
[Pre-Chorus]
You stole a part of me when you left
Nothing but a hole in my chest
Now you're coming back for the rest
[Chorus]
You took what you wanted, every promise
Every goodnight gone with goodbye
Left me in the darkness, loved me 'til I'm heartless
Now all I've got is an empty heart-shaped box
[Verse 2]
Watching souvenirs start to disappear
Used to be heart broke (Heart)
And now I'm just hollow (Hollow)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Took the tears from my eyes, now I can't even cry
They said, "Give it time"
But it's still not easy, it's still not easy
Packing up my love, feel it in my gut
All of your memories twisted inside of me
Nothing I can hold, I'm no good on my own
You got the best of me, and I got a missing piece
[Pre-Chorus]
You stole a part of me when you left
Nothing but a hole in my chest
Now you're coming back for the rest
[Chorus]
You took what you wanted, every promise
Every goodnight gone with goodbye
Left me in the darkness, loved me 'til I'm heartless
Now all I've got is an empty heart-shaped box
[Verse 2]
Watching souvenirs start to disappear
Used to be heart broke (Heart)
And now I'm just hollow (Hollow)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Took the tears from my eyes, now I can't even cry
They said, "Give it time"
But it's still not easy, it's still not easy
[Chorus]
You took what you wanted, every promise
Every goodnight gone with goodbye
Left me in the darkness, loved me 'til I'm heartless
Now all I've got is an empty heart-shaped box
[Bridge]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Left me with nothing
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I gave you everything
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
You took what you wanted, every promise
Every goodnight gone with goodbye
Left me in the darkness, loved me 'til I'm heartless
Now all I've got is an empty heart-shaped box
You took what you wanted, every promise
Every goodnight gone with goodbye
Left me in the darkness, loved me 'til I'm heartless
Now all I've got is an empty heart-shaped box
[Bridge]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Left me with nothing
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I gave you everything
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
You took what you wanted, every promise
Every goodnight gone with goodbye
Left me in the darkness, loved me 'til I'm heartless
Now all I've got is an empty heart-shaped box
