I see you savor the sweetness of time Each and every breath, what all you have left Has led you to find Sometimes daybreak leaves you feeling alone But you're not really lonely You're just standing on your own It's hard not to lie When you're running on empty Everybody needs a ride It's a hard, it's a hard truth to tell When you dig your own grave and Somebody mistakes it for a wishing well There are some nights you wish would last forever You keep them all in your smile Every once in a while I watch you remember There are some days you just as soon forget You live and you lose, but you get to choose To love what you get It's hard not to lie When you're running on empty Everybody needs a ride It's a hard, it's a hard truth to tell When you dig your own grave and Somebody mistakes it for a wishing well It's hard not to lie When you're running on empty Everybody needs a ride It's a hard, it's a hard truth to tell When you dig your own grave and Somebody mistakes it for a wishing well
