lyrics

Headstrong In On Empty - Lyrics

I sat quiet because my thoughts never made no words.
How I wish some things could be different.
But I never gave much thought to anything I heard.
God, I gotta see it to believe it.

You made me a monster by the end of the book you read.
Funny how you swore you really knew me.
I’m not lying when I say I’d rather be misread
Than thrown out to the dogs where you found me.

We all sleep in houses that we built ourselves.
If only I could stop and take a deep breath.
Cuz maybe good things happen somewhere else.
But I can only speak through experience.

If I kept quiet what good could it do me now?
I need to find and tear away my conscience.
I drank so Goddamn much it turned my whole most sour.
I only ever wanted you to listen.

I’m not here to try to make a believer out of you.
Even if it’s all you ever wanted.
I’m so worn down I could never see this damn thing through.
All these lonely dreams they kept me haunted.

I fall asleep on the couch by eight p.m.
A sight to sore those pretty eyes.
If things don’t change I’m a have to make a change again.
God I get so sick and tired of changing.

You can drag that bottom of Lake Erie all you like.
But I swear you’ll never find me.
In just one moment I can either hod or break that line.
Always running headstrong in on empty.

You made me a martyr by the end of the life I led.
It’s funny how you swore you really loved me.
And I’m not lying when I say I’d rather be misled.
Than thrown out to the dogs where you found me.

I’m always running headstrong in on empty.
