Lyrics

Empty Lines

[Verse 1]

Sunrise, I wonder if I'm gonna wake up okay

Or feeling that way

Longtime, longtime ago you said the house always wins

I'm losing my skin

Someone tried to tell me there's no reason to try

"No one gets out alive" and I can't deny

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And now I'm jaded, I can't fake it

I don't care anymore

[Chorus]

I swear this happens every time

Was I aware your demon's well disguised

Hanging on your empty lines

It's never fair to feel what's left inside

[Verse 2]

Inside, this revelation has me lost once again

And I won't pretend

This time, this time is different but

It's feeling the same so let me complain

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And now I'm jaded, I can't fake it

I don't care anymore

And I can't take it, I might not make it

It's hard to care anymore

And I don't care anymore

[Chorus]

I swear this happens every time

Was I aware your demon's well disguised

Hanging on your empty lines

It's never fair to feel what's left inside

Seeing through your shallow lies

I never cared until I'm left behind

[Bridge]

And I'm not giving up on you

And all the changes you're going through

And I can't say I've had enough

Don't say you're out of luck

I'm pretty sure it's not yours, it's mine

(I swear this happens every time)

[Chorus]

I swear this happens every time

Was I aware your demon's well disguised

Hanging on your empty lines

It's never fair to feel what's left inside

[Outro]

What's left inside

What's left inside
