Lyrics:
Lean these pictures up against the wall
Won’t remain in this room too long
I count steps and sockets in the wall
To avoid the sound of your feet missing in the hall
To avoid the sound of your feet missing in the hall
Don’t think I didn’t deserve what I got
Don’t think I didn’t deserve what I lost
I run empty till I, I feel nothing inside
I run empty till I, I feel nothing inside, oh
Don’t think I didn’t deserve what I got
Think nothing of mistakes that I’ve made
All around, change that I can’t take
The way I left you hanging every time
You avoid the sound of my voice coming down the line
You avoid the sound of my voice coming down the line
Don’t think I didn’t deserve what I got
Don’t think I didn’t deserve what I lost
I run empty till I, I feel nothing inside
I run empty till I, I feel nothing inside, oh
Don’t think I didn’t deserve what I got
We were still so young, wasn’t certain of anything
(So young, so young)
When you’re still so young, can’t be certain of anything
(So young)
Can’t be certain of anything, when you’re young
Don’t think I didn’t deserve what I got
Don’t think I didn’t deserve what I lost
I run empty till I, I feel nothing inside
I run empty till I, I feel nothing inside, oh
Don’t think I didn’t deserve what I got
I run empty till I, I feel nothing inside
I run empty till I, I feel nothing inside, oh
Don’t think I didn’t deserve what I got
