Emty Heart Empty Tank

Ori cant fill up the gas, crying like a beach

I pull into the station at 2 a.m.
Neon lights flicker like the hope I lost again
The pump clicks slow, counting every drop
Just like the nights I count the ways we stopped
My hands are shaking on the freezing hose
Gasoline smell mixes with the scent of your cologne
Still stuck on my jacket from three weeks ago
I swore I'd wash it, but I never let you go
Pre-Chorus
And the warning light's been screaming red
Just like the words I never said
Chorus
I'm running on fumes, barely making it through
Every mile feels like I'm further from you
This tank's on empty, just like my chest
I keep filling it up but it never helps
I'm stuck at this pump in the pouring rain
Trying to refuel what won't run again
You're gone, you're gone, but the ache stays on
Empty tank, empty heart, still driving on
Verse 2
The receipt prints out, another wasted twenty
On something temporary that never fills me
I stare at the numbers blurring through my tears
Just like our late-night talks that disappeared
I remember you laughing in the passenger seat
Singing off-key to the songs we'd repeat
Now the radio's static, the silence is loud
And I'm screaming your name into exhaust clouds
Pre-Chorus
The gauge doesn't lie, it's down to the line
Just like us, we ran out of time
Chorus
I'm running on fumes, barely making it through
Every mile feels like I'm further from you
This tank's on empty, just like my chest
I keep filling it up but it never helps
I'm stuck at this pump in the pouring rain
Trying to refuel what won't run again
You're gone, you're gone, but the ache stays on
Empty tank, empty heart, still driving on
Bridge
Maybe I'll break down on the side of the road
Let the engine die like the promises we broke
Or maybe I'll keep going till the sunrise bleeds
Chasing a ghost at 60 empty speeds
Final Chorus (quieter, breaking)
I'm running on nothing, can't even pretend
This car won't start and neither will we again
The tank's bone dry, just like my soul
I paid for the gas but I'm still paying the toll
Standing here soaked in fluorescent pain
Learning some things you can't refuel again
You're gone, you're gone, and I'm still here
Empty tank, empty heart, drowning in tears
Outro
I hang up the pump... and drive into the dark.
