"Empty Heart" lyrics

The need is violent
Trade my heart to somebody to keep right now
In keeping out the sound
And what's the worth in trying?
When I can find somebody who's here right now
I wanna touch right now
But I know that

We've got it moving in the wrong direction
Probably hurt less with someone else
The need to hide it, to hide it, is automatic
We've got a bill that we can't cover
Knowing that a simple change just doesn't help
An empty heart ignores a sense of self

It seems exciting
To give my time to somebody who's "it" right now
So that we get that sound
All this fake admiring
I'll trade it in to have a clear head for now
Don't wanna be let down
Can't you see that

We've got it moving in the wrong direction
Probably hurt less with someone else
The need to hide it, to hide it, is automatic
We've got a bill that we can't cover
Knowing that a simple change just doesn't help
An empty heart ignores a sense of self

We've got it moving in the wrong direction
Probably hurt less with someone else
The need to hide it, to hide it, is automatic
We've got a bill that we can't cover
Knowing that a simple change just doesn't help
An empty heart ignores a sense of self
We've got it moving in the wrong direction
Probably hurt less with someone else
The need to hide it, to hide it, is automatic
We've got a bill that we can't cover
Knowing that a simple change just doesn't help
An empty heart ignores a sense of self
I don't think we're gonna learn our lesson
I need it more than I need to hate myself
The way to break it, to make it, is systematic
I'm feeling like I'm doing long division
Maybe see if we can justify the swells
An empty heart ignores a sense of self
