[Verse 1]
Something's always broken
Seems we’re worlds apart
Many words unspoken
Burning in our hearts
We've been here before
Beat this dead horse
In circles we go

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause we're running on, running on
Running on empty
Yeah we’re running on, running on
Running on empty

[Chorus]
This straw house keeps falling
We built this on hollow ground
Can't fix it
What's missing
So easy to tear it down
And the wind just blows away
And the wind just blows away

[Verse 2]
Innocence is shattered
Tainted memories
Of a happy after
That will never be
We can't be apart
When we try again
We make deeper scars

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause we're running on, running on
Running on empty
Yeah we're running on, running on
Running on empty

[Chorus]
This straw house keeps falling
We built this on hollow ground
Can't fix it
What's missing
So easy to tear it down
And the wind just blows away
And the wind just blows away

[Bridge]
Looking at these walls we built
Wreckage of this love surrounds me
Next time build it brick by brick
I’m not letting go

[Chorus]
This straw house keeps falling
We built this on hollow ground
Can’t fix it
What's missing
So easy to tear it down
And the wind just blows away
And the wind just blows away
