Running On Empty – Defense Mechanisms lyrics

Well, I woke up this morning and threw on my coat
And I didn't even notice your bed was empty, so...
I asked you if you wanted to go on a walk
When I arrived home I said we'd had a nice talk

Hours later I finished making breakfast for two
And I set your plate beside what I thought was you
The house was empty I guess I was in a zone
Cause I didn't even realize that I was all alone

Chorus
I've worked so hard, but I've got nothing to show
I'm all dressed up but I've got nowhere to go
The sky seems clear, but it's starting to snow
And all this time I've been all alone
but I didn't even know

Well, I did some research and did some reading
Denial's the most common way to hide your feelings
And these stupid defense mechanisms never work
They kept me in a coma, but I woke up, everything's worse, now...

Chorus

I miss your car
And I miss your hair
And I miss us going everywhere
Mostly I just miss 'us'
I tried to hide this because I'm scared(x2)

Chorus(x2)
