Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm never going through this again
I know that you thought you'd win
And before I give you another try I'd die
Love won't make you cry or ask why oh why?
So I'll deny my heart 'cause I won't live a lie, why try?
Your heart is empty and you're so cold
Your heart is empty, you won't let go
But I'm walkin' out this life
Why can't you let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go?
Girl, because your heart is empty
Why can't you let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go?
Girl, because your heart is empty
There you go
Tryna tell me how to be a man
When that's somethin' you just don't understand
It's time to bring your truth to light, no lie,
Love won't make you cry or ask why oh, why?
So I'll deny my heart 'cause I won't live a lie, why try?
Your heart is empty and you're so cold
You don't care about you and I
Your heart is empty, you won't let go
But I'm walkin out this life
Why can't you let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go?
Girl, because your heart is empty
Why can't you let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go?
Girl, because your heart is empty
Your heart is gone, my heart is strong
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Your heart is gone, my heart is strong
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Your heart is empty, your heart is empty
Your heart is empty
Girl, because your heart is empty
Your heart is empty and you're so cold
You don't care about you and I
Your heart is empty, you won't let go
But I'm walkin out this life
Why can't you let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go?
Girl, because your heart is empty
Why can't you let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go?
Girl, because your heart is empty
The song "Empty" by JYJ (Junsu Jejung & Yoochun) is an emotional ballad that tells a story of a relationship that has come to its end, where one partner is unwilling to let go despite the other's efforts to move on.

The song's opening lines, "Girl, I swear, I'm never going through this again" set the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer makes it clear that they are unwilling to remain in a toxic relationship that doesn't value their worth.
The chorus of the song, "Your heart is empty, and you're so cold, you don't care about you and I," reflects the pain that the singer feels because of their partner's indifference.

The lyrics further emphasize this sentiment by saying, "Love won't make you cry or ask why oh why? So I'll deny my heart 'cause I won't live a lie, why try?" It shows that the singer is willing to walk out of this relationship because they won't accept anything less than genuine love.

These three young men did so much for kpop. They spoke up and brought a real change. Improving idol contracts, working conditions, outlawing illegal banning… There is no way to really measure their contribution. Awards for achievements like that simply do not exist. But that’s what builds the future. They are the pioneers, the game changers. Junsu left his old agency and founded his own entertainment agency in November 2021. “The space that we deserve.” That man is still fighting. What a spirit! Truly one of K-pop’s founding fathers. Best of luck!
