Empty - Janet Jackson

How could it be That you know me My deepest fears

My fantasies

Confide in you

What no one knows

But it feels so real

When I close my eyes

I can see your face

When I lick my lips

I can taste your smile

When I see your name

My heart starts to race

If I can’t read your thoughts

Then I feel empty

Is this a new

Way to love

Never face to face

Is it enough

Does it really count

Or am I a fool

So tell me please

Am I wasting my time

Your phrases

Descriptive

And through the textured words

With beauty

You post it And use such colored verbs

We’ve never met

When I close my eyes

I can see your face

When I lick my lips

I can taste your smile

When I see your name

My heart starts to race

If I can’t read your thoughts

Then I feel empty

I’m rushin’home

To turn you on Sometimes you’re there

Sometimes you’re gone

Wait for hours

For your return

So tell me please

Am I wasting my time

Your phrases

Descriptive

And through the textured words

With beauty

You post it And use such colored verbs

So tell me You think that

Maybe we’ve gone insane

To find a, a lover

And through the words of pain

We’ve never met

When I close my eyes

I can see your face

When I lick my lips

I can taste your smile

When I see your name

My heart starts to race

If I can’t read your thoughts

Then I feel empty
