Empty Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't handle these pressures; all I can say is this stress hurts
Things are supposed to get better
I just need to put myself first
I'm always trying my hardest not to pick myself apart
This energy's killin' my vibes now
Sometimes I just wanna to drown out
All of the thoughts in my mind
Too much going on at the same time
I wish it would stop and I've tried but
Life just sucks then we all die
[Pre-Chorus]
That's just reality, yeah, don't lie to me
Yeah I'm fucked up but I don't wanna be
I wonder if I'm good enough
But maybe I've had just too much
To drink, to smoke, to swallow
I'm drowning up my sorrows
There's rules I'll never follow
Pretend there's no tomorrow
I wish there was no tomorrow
[Chorus]
But I'm empty inside, yeah I'm empty inside
And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die
Yeah I'm empty inside, I just don't feel alive
And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die
[Verse 2]
Wish I could erase my memories, so I could stop feeling so empty
I wish that shit wasn't so tempting
But it's hard to resist when there's plenty of things I could do to fuck me up
I want to let go, but I'm feeling so stuck
So all I can do is fill up my cup
And sit here alone hoping no one disrupts
[Pre-Chorus]
That's just reality, yeah, don't lie to me
Yeah I'm fucked up but I don't wanna be
I wonder if I'm good enough
But maybe I've had just too much
To drink, to smoke, to swallow
I'm drowning up my sorrows
There's rules I'll never follow
Pretend there's no tomorrow
I wish there was no tomorrow
[Chorus]
But I'm empty inside, yeah I'm empty inside
And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die
Yeah I'm empty inside, I just don't feel alive
And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die
[Bridge]
My body's shaking
My head is aching
It feels like my heart is breaking
My body's shaking
My head is aching
I can't fix this mess I'm making
[Chorus]
But I'm empty inside, yeah I'm empty inside
And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die
Yeah I'm empty inside, I just don't feel alive
And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die

What did Olivia O'Brien say about "Empty"?
It [“Empty”] was extremely emotional and I think a lot of people are going to relate to it. You know, I haven’t released a sad song since “I hate u I love u.” But I think people who liked “I hate u I love u” are going to like this. It doesn’t focus on love, it focuses on personal feelings and str...
How did this song come together?
This song was really hard for me to write. I wrote it when I first moved out to LA, and I was feeling kind of confused about life. I didn’t really have a lot of friends here, but I didn’t fit in back home. I was just in a weird in-between place in my life. It was one of the first few songs I wrote t...
Was there any specific event that caused Olivia to write this song?
Stuff builds. I hate to be like, “Life is like a rollercoaster,” but it kind of is. Especially when you do music, or you’re in the public eye, and the highs are really fucking high when you perform in arenas and shit ,and people are screams the lyrics to your song. That’s crazy and so happy. And the...
