  • Empty
    I poured myself into you and you let me
    Then say you're overwhelmed and you resent me
    'Cause you don't know how to let somebody down gently
    Do you?

    Never got what I needed
    And my love has a ceiling
    Nothing left to believe in, no

    Ooh, you want something that I can't give anymore
    Ooh, I can't go back to the way things were before

    After
    I'm the one who breathes the smoke from your disaster
    Then you say it's my fault my heart's beating faster
    And you ask me how I'm feeling like it matters
    To you

    Never got what I needed
    And my love has a ceiling
    Nothing left to believe in, no

    Ooh, you want something that I can't give anymore
    Ooh, I can't go back to the way things were before

    And I can't breathe down here, when did we get so heavy?
    Tell me why we're drowning still when the lifeboat's empty

    Ooh, you want something that I can't give anymore
    Ooh, I can't go back to the way things were before

    And I can't breathe down here, when did we get so heavy?
    Tell me why we're drowning still when the lifeboat's empty Writer/s: Alexander Patrick O'Neill, Chelsea Emily Cutler, Mikael Marvin Temrowski, Thomas Michel
