Empty Love Lyrics
[Verse 1: GRACEY]
Low-fi, high-res, high life, low esteem
Hearts left on read, breaking silently
Like me
Can you stop asking me to smile, please?
Bad days, good lies, just hide
Gotta have the time of our lives
All the fucking time, yeah
Don't we?
Man, it's real, getting kinda tiring, hmm
And I got a lot on my plate, yeah
But I still watch others take the cake
Ooh, ooh, I think I'm good, I think you're good
But we look for the validation
You think I'm good, I think you're good
But we look and we never listen, so
[Chorus: GRACEY & Ruel]
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love
Empty love, empty love, empty love
Shallow but we all know it's deep enough
Don't stop giving me love, giving me love, giving me love
Make me want what I already got
Empty love, empty love, empty love
Shallow but we all know it's deep enough
Don't stop giving me love, giving me love, giving me love
[Verse 2: Ruel]
Dark night, bright screen, you've been everywhere
It's frightening to think you are unaware
Of me
Can you give me a little smile, please?
I, try to keep up my disguise
Try keeping up with the life
Only holidays, getaways, celebrations
Still, you can't ignore, can't endure the fabrication
[Chorus: GRACEY & Ruel]
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love
Empty love, empty love, empty love
Shallow but we all know it's deep enough
Don't stop giving me love, giving me love, giving me love
Make me want what I already got
Empty love, empty love, empty love
Shallow but we all know it's deep enough
Don't stop giving me love, giving me love, giving me love
[Bridge: GRACEY, with Ruel]
Like after like but I'm like losing my mind
'Cause I'm fully aware that I'm just wasting my time
Keeping the lows inside, I'm never asking for help
But do you ever get tired of pretending to be yourself?
[Chorus: GRACEY & Ruel]
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love
Empty love, empty love, empty love
Shallow but we all know it's deep enough
Don't stop giving me love, giving me love, giving me love (Ooh)
Make me want what I already got (Got, oh)
Empty love, empty love, empty love (Woah, oh)
Shallow but we all know it's deep enough (Enough)
Don't stop giving me love, giving me love, giving me love

What did GRACEY & Ruel say about "Empty Love"?
This is a love song to social media and is about that validation you get from other people. I didn’t want it to be preachy, like, ‘Don’t go on your phones.’ I wanted it to be like, ‘I do it too. I need you to give me love. I need you to tell me that I’m acceptable and that you think I’m pretty and y...
