"Empty Love" lyrics
GRACEY & Ruel Lyrics
"Empty Love"
Low-fi, high-res, high life, low esteem
Hearts left on read, breaking silently
Like me
Can you stop asking me to smile, please?
Bad days, good lies, just hide
Gotta have the time of our lives
All the fucking time, yeah
Don't we?
Man, it's real, getting kinda tiring
And I got a lot on my plate, yeah
But I still watch others take the cake
Ooh, I think I'm good, I think you're good
But we look for the validation
You think I'm good, I think you're good
But we look and we never listen so
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love
Empty love, empty love, empty love
Shallow but we all know it's deep enough
Don't stop giving me love, giving me love, giving me love
Maybe you want what I already got
Empty love, empty love, empty love
Shallow but we all know it's deep enough
Don't stop giving me love, giving me love, giving me love
Dark night, bright screen, you've been everywhere
It's frightening to think you are unaware
Of me
Can you give me a little smile, please?
I try to keep up my disguise
Try keeping up with the life
Only holidays, getaways, celebrations
Still, you can't ignore, can't endure the fabrication
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love
Empty love, empty love, empty love
Shallow but we all know it's deep enough
Don't stop giving me love, giving me love, giving me love
Maybe you want what I already got
Empty love, empty love, empty love
Shallow but we all know it's deep enough
Don't stop giving me love, giving me love, giving me love
Like after like but I'm like losing my mind
'Cause I'm fully aware that I'm just wasting my time
Keeping the lows inside, I'm never asking for help
But do you ever get tired of pretending to be yourself?
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love
Empty love, empty love, empty love
Shallow but we all know it's deep enough
Don't stop giving me love, giving me love, giving me love
Maybe you want what I already got
Empty love, empty love, empty love
Shallow but we all know it's deep enough
Don't stop giving me love, giving me love, giving me love

"Empty Love" is the first collaboration between Gracey and
Ruel. She explained PopJustice.com,
"...it's me being honest about my own relationship with social media and the way we all act. I played it to my manager and she didn't realise it was about social media until I told her."
Gracey revealed the following on Twitter about creating the
music video for this song,
"This took 3 days to film, trying to figure out how to work 5 different cameras haha, but feel really proud of it and so excited to share it with you."
She also revealed about the video,
"I wanted to make it look like I'm getting stalked by the internet. I'm not a tech person – I can barely work Zoom – so I was like, 'How am I going to manage this?'"
