Cover art for Empty Shell lyrics by Cat Power

'Empty shell' describes perfectly how you feel when you've been left by someone. The lyrics are really powerful, especially her saying 'I really love you, and I really miss you too...But I don't know you." The way he treated her and left her means she feels he wasn't who she thought he was. But although she loves and misses him, she doesn't want him anymore...how could she after the way he treated her? Definitely about being sad but glad because the break-up has made you realise just how wrong you were about the other person, and you're better off for being without them.
