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.
Nothing's worse than the dues to pay for an empty heart,
Nothing's worse than the dues to pay for an empty heart.
Empty hearts,
An empty heart will tear you apart,
Empty hearts,
An empty heart will tear you apart.
A scream in the night, dialling 911,
The shock of their lives, over and done,
She was alone in the crowd, shadow on the wall,
The ambulance left, taking it all,
They thought they had something with nothing to lose,
But in the morning light she knew the truth,
Nobody noticed, never asked for her name,
Just a face in the night gone up in flames.
Empty hearts.
He reached for the wire right out his back door,
Jumping from the fire escape off of his fourth floor,
She loved so much, they thought that they had it made,
But when the sun came up he never saw the light of day.
Nothing's worse than the dues to pay for an empty heart,
Nothing's worse than the dues to pay for an empty heart.
Empty hearts,
An empty heart will tear you apart,
Empty hearts,
An empty heart will tear you apart,
Empty hearts,
An empty heart will tear you apart,
Empty hearts,
An empty heart will tear you apart.
