I see this girl every day, a painted smile on her face
But when she sees the sun, she doesn't care
Pretending life is a game, she laughs at nothing to name
She doesn't want to know the pain below
Who is this girl I see inside
I don't know if she breathes, is she alive
I hear her tell me she's in pain
She just wants it all to go away
Empty Shell
And when she locks up her pain, she starts to notice an ache
A need for love, because she feels alone.
But when she tries outside to connect, she's reminded of her neglect
So she runs cause it's much too bare
Who is this girl I see inside
I don't know if she breathes, is she alive
I hear her tell me she's in pain
She just wants it all to go away
Empty Shell
And she runs, and she runs to take the pain away
But it doesn't work, because it hurts
Who is this girl I see inside
I don't know if she breathes, is she alive
I hear her tell me she's in pain
She just wants it all to go away
Ooh, ooh
Empty Shell
