Filling Up on Empty - Casey / Haller / Shervelle
She left him crying at the Texaco station
So blindsided, he thinks left without paying
Full tank of gas but way low on love
Now his heart is just a hollow space
Fast cars, dive bars can’t take her place
Drinks the last drop of whiskey but it ain’t strong enough
He’s filling up on empty
He’s filling up on empty
He's like a canyon ten miles wide
So much loneliness inside, and he tries
But he can’t replace those memories
He's only filling, filling up on empty
Her scent has faded from the pillowcase
No picture in that picture frame
Now it's just one-night stands and take-out food
That king-size bed feels twice as wide
He dreams she’s curled up by his side
Morning sunlight burns him with the truth
Chorus
He’s looking out the window
Staring into space
Catches his reflection
It’s my own face that I see
Baby, why did you leave
I’m filling up on empty...
