Empty Soul

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Late at night, I'm counting change again
Pennies falling through my fingers, pretend
That this feeling isn't what it seems
Every touch costs more than I can spend
You smile at me but your eyes are blank
Like the balance in my savings, they sank
Deep beneath the surface of this game
While my heart keeps making the same mistake
[Chorus]
Empty pockets, empty soul (ayy)
Give you everything I own (own, own)
Take it all, leave me cold (cold)
'Til there's nothing left to show (show, show)
[Verse 2]
Started sweet but now the sugar's gone
Every kiss comes with a price tag on
Used to dance but now we just exchange
Numbers, figures, watch my spirit drain
Calculator replacing conversations
Bank alerts instead of invitations
Thought I found love in your embrace
Now I'm just another revenue base
[Chorus]
Empty pockets, empty soul (ayy)
Give you everything I own (own, own)
Take it all, leave me cold (cold)
'Til there's nothing left to show (show, show)
[Bridge]
Ayy-ya-ya-ya
Ooh-wa-oh-oh
(Why do I still come back?)
Ayy-ya-ya-ya
(When you take and take and take)
[Verse 3]
Every time I swear it's the last time
But I'm weak when you're on my lifeline
Drawing hearts with dollar signs inside
While my dignity continues to slide
Remember when we used to talk all night?
Now it's just transactions in the moonlight
Got me feeling like an ATM
That you visit when you need a friend
[Chorus]
Empty pockets, empty soul (soul)
Give you everything I own (I own nothing now)
Take it all, leave me cold (so cold)
'Til there's nothing left to show (nothing left, nothing)
