The blanket fell from the window and let the sun shine in
The hardest part of starting over is where to begin
You wanted the world but it was more than I could give
I fell short of expectations but that’s just the way it is

Just turn and walk away, don’t let me hear you say
That I'm an empty man, full of empty plans
You can't say I didn’t try, I'm not an empty man

It's the first day of summer, there's a cool wind blowing in
Solid year of bad whether is wearing me thin
The stories of my weakness are starting to get old
Go find the man I should have been 'cause tonight its getting cold

Just turn and walk away, don’t let me hear you say
That I'm an empty man, full of empty plans
Just because you're not satisfied doesn’t mean that I didn’t try
Oh, I'm not an empty man

And I turn and walk away, don't let me hear you say
That I'm an empty man, full of empty plans
Just because you're not satisfied doesn’t mean I didn’t try
And someday you'll realize that I'm not an empty man
I'm not an empty man, the blanket fell fro
