Running on Empty Lyrics by The Maddigans

No Place Like Here

2016

I thought you wanted me
Thought you'd commit but I should have seen
You stop rewind and play your emotions
Stood in the pouring rain on my own but you never came
Sick of your stupid games
Just take your hold off me

The next time you call me up and beg for me to come and see you
I'll be a little bit smarter than you wanted

[Chorus]
Now I'm running on empty
Then you tell me you needed me
Said you wanted to be free
Then tell me everything we could have been
You can't make your mind up
Don't know what you want
You're messing with my head again
Like I mean nothing

You make me think I'm wrong for standing up for myself
Look in the mirror
No time to stop and be still
Let go of me for real

It's not enough even though I asked for you to stay
I just can't wait
You came a little bit later than I needed

[Chorus]

I'll settle down somehow 'cause I need it now
I don't want to wait, but I don't want this to go to waste
