(hmmmmm) Standing by
the velvet rope
Waiting on
a little hope
In the corner of a crowded room
Every shadow wears your perfume (ahhhh)
I'm dressed up but I'm fading out
Can you hear the silent shout?
Oh, we're so close but far away
Dancing past the VIP line
Trying to make your eyes meet mine With an empty heart
in the neon glow (yeah)
Nowhere left for us to go
Another drink
to dull the sting
No joy
in the songs they sing
Just a face in a shifting crowd Why does the silence sound
so loud?
Empty heart... (ooh, yeah)
Just an empty heart...
