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
