Empty Words

[Verse 1: Christina Aguilera]
The funny thing about hurt people
Is they tend to hurt people
The funny thing about lies is
They're only lies
The funny thing about hearts is
They tend to break easy
The funny thing about healing is
I'm alright

[Pre-Chorus: Christina Aguilera]
Your voice was like a knife
It used to make me cry
You tried to cut my pride
Not this time

[Chorus: Christina Aguilera]
So go ahead and say the things you got to say
You know you're only throwing empty words my way
'Cause you won't break me, you won't break me
You can't take me down, no

[Verse 2: Christina Aguilera]
The funny thing about listening is
I don't have to hear you and the
Funny thing about talking is
Your words are tired
Now I've come to realize that
Life can be cruel but
The only approval that I need is mine

[Pre-Chorus: Christina Aguilera]
Your voice was like a knife
It used to make me cry
You tried to cut my pride
Not this time

[Chorus: Christina Aguilera]
So go ahead and say the things you got to say
You know you're only throwing empty words my way
'Cause you won't break me, you won't break me
You can't take me down, no
So go ahead and say the things you got to say
It's only empty words a million miles away
'Cause you won't break me, you won't break me
You can't take me down, no

[Verse 3: Christina Aguilera]
The hardest part of this
Cannot be heard or seen
This journey starts when I begin loving me

[Chorus: Christina Aguilera]
So go ahead and say the things you got to say
You know you're only throwing empty words my way
'Cause you won't break me (you never gonna break me), you won't break me (you never gonna take me)
You can't take me down, no
So go ahead and say the things you got to say
It's only empty words a million miles away
'Cause you won't break me, you won't break me
You can't take me down, no

[Outro: Christina Aguilera]
So go ahead and say the things you got to say
You know you're only throwing empty words my way
