Empty Words

A sunny afternoon
The talking points remain
You're babbling on and on
And I'm the one to blame
We're talking 'bout the weather
And work is still the same
I'm desperate to be gone
You're driving me insane

Oh, dear friend, I wasn't prepared for this
You hold my hand, but never take a look into my eyes
We should break through the nights where I wouldn't stay
You and I, so low and then so high
You say the same words forever and ever and ever again
I chew them up and spit them out
That's so fucked up but not my fault

I bet you know that too
But you would never wanna let go
Eyes wide shut
And you do anything to turn back time
Can't keep up
When will you ever let me pass you by?
As I'm walking down the street
You shout my name but can't you see
I know at first this ending hurts
But I've run out of empty words

Okay, let's play another round of the same old game
We're forced into the overtime and you're the one to blame
My gun is jammed so I pretend that shot's not overdue
You cross a line that makes me feel will split us into two

And I bet you know that, too
But you will never ever let go

I am running from what's called being mature
Break the circle, make it square
Keep the pressure, don't be fair

Eyes wide shut
And you do anything to turn back time
Can't keep up
When will you ever let me pass you by?
As I'm walking down the street
You shout my name but can't you see
I know at first this ending hurts
But I've run out of empty words

You never notice when I'm feeling down
Cause you gave all of your attention
Only with you I felt safe and sound
Will I never ever let go?

You say we've changed a lot
I feel like we are still the same
You say I drag you down
Because I never got on your high horse
You beg 'please, give a fuck'
I say that I am tired
Of all these conversations
Filled with empty words
