After School Trauma Club - Running on Empty Lyrics

Woke up late again, coffee's gone cold
Another day behind, another story untold
Deadlines creeping in, my boss on my case
I'm barely hanging on, always running in place

Rent's due Friday, I'm behind on the bills
Trying to keep afloat, but I'm sinking still
Family texts piling up on my screen
"Why don't you visit?" but I'm stuck in between

I'm pulled in every direction, but I'm stuck in place
Feels like I'm losing this never-ending race

I'm running on empty, burning the fuse
Trying to balance, but it's no use
Work, love, life-they're tearing me apart
How can I give when I've lost my heart?

Everything's spinning, out of control
I'm spread too thin, I'm losing my soul
Is there a way out, a way to be free?
Or will I always be running on empty?

Practice at seven, but I can't catch a break
My girl's on the phone saying, "How long will you take?"
Missed my nephew's birthday, I'm the one who forgets
While they tell me I'm selfish, drowning in regrets

Band's got a gig, but my mind's in a haze
Drums pounding louder than the mess I've made
I'm faking a smile, like I've got it all down
But I'm falling apart behind the sound

I'm pulled in every direction, but I'm stuck in place
Feels like I'm losing this never-ending race

I'm running on empty, burning the fuse
Trying to balance, but it's no use
Work, love, life-they're tearing me apart
How can I give when I've lost my heart?

Everything's spinning, out of control
I'm spread too thin, I'm losing my soul
Is there a way out, a way to be free?
Or will I always be running on empty?

Late nights with the band, but I'm barely there
Everyone asks why I don't seem to care
But how can I explain that I'm just holding on?
The world keeps spinning, and I'm almost gone

Car's breaking down, I can't catch a breath
Feels like I'm running myself to death
Missed calls, late bills, nothing's ever right
Every day's a struggle, just to make it through the night

I'm running on empty, burning the fuse
Trying to balance, but it's no use
Work, love, life-they're tearing me apart
How can I give when I've lost my heart?

Everything's spinning, out of control
I'm spread too thin, I'm losing my soul
Is there a way out, a way to be free?
Or will I always be running on empty?

Will I always be running on empty?

Will I always be running on empty?
