This Empty Love Lyrics
I'm in a room and there is something wrong.
I cant remember how I got here at all.
Her body's lying next to me on the bed.
This place smells of smoke and alcohol on my breath.
I look at her to see if she's awake
Her eyes are open
she whispers
this empty love leaves us alone
this empty love leaves us alone
I leave the bed to gather my clothes
she covers up her skin.
I'm moving for the door.
She says
if you walk out now this is the last time that we speak.
you tell her that you love her so then how could you love me?
Don't make promises you can't keep.
Her eyes are open
she whispers
this empty love leaves us alone
this empty love leaves us alone
I'm in a room and there is something wrong.
No one is lying next to me
At all.
I cant remember how I got here at all.
Her body's lying next to me on the bed.
This place smells of smoke and alcohol on my breath.
I look at her to see if she's awake
Her eyes are open
she whispers
this empty love leaves us alone
she covers up her skin.
I'm moving for the door.
She says
if you walk out now this is the last time that we speak.
you tell her that you love her so then how could you love me?
Don't make promises you can't keep.
Her eyes are open
she whispers
this empty love leaves us alone
No one is lying next to me
At all.

at the end of the second verse, it goes "I whisper", not "she whispers".
an affair ...
this song is sick!!! love it love it love it
I agree, this song seems to be about an affair thats reaching its end.

I don't know if this is right but here is my two cents. I think it's about a guy who gets drunk (at a party probably) and has a one night stand with a girl. Thats why he says "I'm in a room and there is something wrong./I cant remember how I got here at all." And then the real kicker is that he is already in a relationship with another girl because then songs says in the pov of the onenight stand girl "you tell her that you love her so then how could you love me?/Don't make promises you can't keep." The "her" implies that there is another women out there. Narrators "girlfiend" maybe? Then it constantly repeats "this empty love leaves us alone" implying that sex alone is nothing. It doesn't establish a good relationship so the one-night affair is nothing.So as the song goes I believe the "girlfirend" finds out about the one-night stand and leaves him because at the end it says "I'm in a room and there is something wrong./No one is lying next to me/At all." in the end the guy got nothing. He made a mistake and he paid the price. Most innerpartysystem songs, to me, seem to have an underlying message that teahces everyone a lesson. Here, the wrongs of lust and partying. In the song "everybody is the same" the problem of everyone wanting to be "perfect" and so on and so forth. But those are just my oppinions.
