Running On Empty

I’m running on empty again

Your hand she takes like a friend

She pulls you away, and then I think I’m running on empty again

Her eyes shine like the dew

Your hand through her hair gently moves

I try to not stare and try to not care but i'm running on empty again

Running on empty again

Though I try I just can't pretend

I’ve spent all my nights sitting upright

I'm running on empty again

Her smile could make a man weep

As tears of joy fall down your cheek

My tongue I did bite and swallow that night

I’m running on empty again

Don’t tell me I’m losing my head

It's you who don't come back to bed

Are you worried you’ll speak her name in your sleep

I’m running on empty again

Running on empty again

Though I try I just can't pretend

I’ve spent all my nights sitting upright

I'm running on empty again
