You did it before and you'll do it again, wasting all the time I spent.
You cut off your nose to spite your face, and everything's such a daze,
'Cause you're not focused and I know, I know that my feelings will show.
Wish it went back to the way it was, but I know that it can't be.
I'm running on empty. I'm running on empty. Remember what it meant to me.

It's up to me. I realize now, I guess it's up to me.
And I'll win somehow, I guess it's up to...

And you're absent, and I know it, and it's time to let me show it.
I just wish you were the same. I guess it's up to me, and I know. (Let's go!)

Changing faces and fading fast, the way that you always have.
The peace of mind that felt like home, is battered and broken and old.
And sometimes things they pass you by, and that's why I'm wondering why.
The easiest thing is to be weak, and you're lazy so you'll stay that way.
I'm running on empty. I'm running on empty. Remember what it meant to me.

It's up to me. I realize now, I guess it's up to me.
And I'll win somehow, I guess it's up to...

And you're absent, and I know it, and it's time to let me show it.
I just wish you were the same. I guess it's up to me. (Stop!)
