You flash your pretty smile, in hopes to change the conversation
It's been a little while, since I have felt your kiss
And I swear I tried, I swear I lost you in translation
When it's really love, no it won't feel like this
And ooh, no I won't be the one who cries
And ooh
I know I'm better on my own
I'm tired of telling you I love you, it feels like a sin
I'm tired of telling you I'm tough when I'm paper thin
I'm tired of chasing you, take and you break me down
I'm tired of looking for a heart that's buried underneath
And feeling so alone when you stand next to me
I'm tired of waiting, you take and you break me down
I'm running on empty, now
Well I've got you figured out
You only call me up when you're feeling down
When it's really love, it won't feel like this
And I swear I tried, I swear I lost you in translation
But if this is love, I'm running on empty now

It's something I won't miss
And ooh, no I won't be the one who cries
And ooh, I know I'm better on my own
I'm tired of telling you I love you, it feels like a sin
I'm tired of telling you I love you, it feels like a sin
I'm tired of telling you I'm tough when I'm paper thin
I'm tired of chasing you, take and you break me down
I'm tired of looking for a heart that's buried underneath
And feeling so alone when you stand next to me
I'm tired of waiting, you take and you break me down
I'm running on empty
Just say goodbye and look for now
I'm running on empty, now
When it's really love, it won't feel the same
And feel no pain at all
When it's really love, you take and you break me down
I'm tired of looking for a heart that's buried underneath
And feeling so alone when you stand next to me
I'm tired of waiting, you take and you break me down
I'm running on empty now
I'm running on empty now
I'm running on empty now
I'm running on empty
now
you
