Kelly Clarkson
Empty Handed
[Verse 1]
Did you know that nothing was right?
Were you just happy to hide
Behind dreams and broken lies?
There's a crack in your perfect smile
That's been growing a while
Did you think you'd go out in style?

[Pre-Chorus]
With all that you know
How long did you know?

[Chorus]
You took me for granted
I don't understand it
While looking for answers
I came up empty handed
But don't worry about me
'Cause I'm stronger than you think
And I know it’s a blessing
I came up empty handed

[Verse 2]
Can you be whoever you like?
You just turn off the lights
And find yourself a different disguise
So you hide the scars you built over time
Do you think I'm blind?
You're still lovely on the inside
[Pre-Chorus]
With all that you know
How long did you know?

[Chorus]
You took me for granted
I don't understand it
While looking for answers
I came up empty handed
Don't worry about me
'Cause I'm stronger than you think
And I know it’s a blessing
I came up empty handed
Empty handed

[Bridge]
When did you know that nothing was right?
Were you just happy to hide
Behind dreams and broken lies?

[Pre-Chorus]
With all that you know
Why didn't you just... go?

[Chorus]
You took me for granted
I don't understand it
While looking for answers
I came up empty handed
But don't worry about me
Cause I'm stronger than you think
And I know it’s a blessing
I came up empty handed
Empty handed
Empty handed
Empty handed
