Title: Empty Love
They have ganged up on my aunt's daughter
Don't worry about them
How they tried to eat you alive
For their love of human flesh
Love that is bought is worthless
Don't extend a greeting where you are not loved
Love that is bought is worthless
It is useless when you are not loved
I would gladly agree to be hanged for a crime I have committed
You are their grandfather you are their godfather
They learned from you now it hurts you
