[Verse 1]
Every apology got worse
An anthology of empty words
You never listen when I said, "It hurts"
I talk big, but don’t know my worth
[Chorus]
I feel void of every feeling that I had
You took them all and left me with an empty bag
Thinkin’ 'bout you, thinkin’ 'bout you
Drive me insane, drive me insane
Thinkin' 'bout y—
[Interlude]
You wanna make yourself the woman
That nobody is gonna mistreat
[Verse 2]
We had every chance to make it right
Faded into shadows of our light
You never listened and I never tried
I talk big, but it’s all pride
[Chorus]
I feel void of every feeling that I had
You took them all and left me with an empty bag (Oh-ooh)
I feel void of every feeling that I had
You took them all and left me with an empty bag
[Post-Chorus]
Thinkin’ 'bout you, thinkin' 'bout you
Thinkin’ 'bout you, thinkin' 'bout you
Thinkin’ 'bout you, thinkin' 'bout you
Thinkin’ 'bout you, thinkin' 'bout you
Thinkin’ 'bout you, thinkin' 'bout you
[Outro]
I feel void
"Woman" is a word
But you make yourself the woman you wanna be

I was listening to a lot of Scott Walker when I wrote this and the final track “Awful”, because he’d died and I didn’t actually know his music. He had very dramatic melodies, like Gershwin. People might never get my references, but sonically I’ve never done something like this. The chords are weird...
