My Heart Is Empty

My Heart Is Empty
(Nico)

"My heart is empty
But the songs I sing
Are filled with love for you"
A man said that to me
That's how I know

Sometimes love it does not show
Sometimes it does not even know
There is no witness to my anger
When it stabs until he dies
I am looking for the strangler
To help me, help me with my crime

Show me the way to warning
Warning for the morning light
I will stab it with a knife
The blinding sun
The heartbeat for the time to come

The honesty that lies to you

My heart is empty
But these songs I sing
Are filled with love for you

Thank you
