i m standing at a mirror i don t know who i m looking at this part i play that i didn t write have i gone too far to come back i wish you could see the real me more than just this song and dance but that s all you saw to begin with so that s what i gave you at last i m empty as a desert well but i built the walls of this mirrored cell it was a spiraled game of show and tell and you beat me every time i feel as easy to see through as a candidate for political office in d c yet my loneliness is carefully hidden though i m dying to let it be seen yeah i m empty as a desert well but i built the walls of this mirrored cell it was a spiraled game of show and tell and you beat me every time i m empty as a desert well but i built the walls of this mirrored cell it was a spiraled game of show and tell and you beat me every time and you beat me oh every time tear me down see me naked this tired facade is wearing thin yeah it s wearing thin yeah i m empty as a desert well but i built the walls of this mirrored cell it was a spiraled game of show and tell and you beat me every time i m empty i m empty i m empty i m empty
