Rez Band - Empty Hearts lyrics

rate me

He reached for the wire, right out his back door

Jumping from the fire escape, off of his fourth floor

His foot still touching, his hand caught fire

Thirty thousand volts made his heartbeat a liar

Nothin's worse than the dues to pay, for an empty heart

Empty hearts, an empty heart will tear you apart

A screem in the night, dialin' 911

The shock of their lives, over and done

She was alone in the crowd, shadow on the wall

The ambulance left, takin' it all

They thought they had somethin' with nothin' to lose

But in the mornin' light - she knew the truth

Nobody noticed - never asked her name

Just a face in the night, gone up in flames

Empty hearts

She loved him so much, they thought they had it made

But when the sun came up, he never saw the light of day
