Analysis of Empty



I'm empty inside, I feel nothing.
Where all the pain and heartache had been. there's nothing.
When I think about the years of my life raising my family,
 I only feel indifference.
When I think about the very difficult years after that,
 more indifference.
When I think about my future, I see nothing.
I'm empty inside.
