Running on Empty

We were perfect

But only on paper

But it didn’t take long to catch fire

And now there’s no saving us

And I’ve tried crying on the bathroom floor

But it only seemed to hurt me more

With the mirror version of myself

Screaming what the hell

I wish you couldn’t hurt me

But I’m in so deep

And I’m colourblind, colourblind

To all those red flags you’re waving

I should have known

You and me, we could never be in love

It may be hard

When you leave, but I know future me is thanking me

Cause now I can finally breathe

Said you’d never hurt me

But you gave it a try

And we made all these plans

But falling out of love wasn’t in mine

And I can’t wait for someone to save me

So I’ll do it alone

But I’m terrified, terrified, terrified

Of being on my own

I should have known

You and me, we could never be in love

It may be hard

When you leave, but I know future me is thanking me

Will you wake up, will you miss me?

Will you finally start to care?

Well I won’t be here

Cause now you’re gone

I can finally…

Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh

I can finally breathe

There’s never been love songs

And fire works

Cause we were never meant to work

Butterflies and sleepless nights

Instead this is our last goodbye

You think it’s me that’s messed it up

But you have never learned to love

And so, it’s time to go

Cause it was you and me but now

We’re running on empty
