  • Little girls don't know how to be sweet girls.
    Mama didn't teach me.
    Little boys don't know how to treat little girls.
    Daddy didn't show me.

    Face down, on top of your bed.
    Oh why did I give it up to you?
    Is this how I shoot myself up high,
    Just high enough to get through?

    Again, the false affection.
    Again, we break down inside.
    Love save the empty.
    Love save the empty, and save me.

    Sad boy, you stare up at the sky
    When no one's looking back at you.
    You wear your every last disguise;
    You're flying, then you fall through.

    Again, the false attention.
    Again, you're breaking inside.
    Love save the empty.
    Love save the empty, save me.
    Love save the empty.
    Love save the empty.

    Scars feel like knives,
    They tell us why we're fighting.
    Storm, wait outside.
    Oh, love, hold us together.

    Love, save the empty.
    Love, save the empty.
    Love, save the empty.
    Love, save the empty, and save me.
    And save me. Writer/s: ERIN MCCARLEY, JAMIE KENNEY

  • Torrie from Moghetto, California ((:, CaI totally relate to this song. That's why I love it so much. I never had parents, well I had a mom, but she put me in a foster home,then I lived with my brother, then my aun, &now I live with my sister. they weren't that good of a "role models". So I was never really taught anything from my "parents"
